Any way you look at it, November 2 simply cannot arrive fast enough. Go to Full Review

As a return volley to Moore's cinema, Celsius shares Moore's blatant agit-prop but none of his humor or entertainment sense. Go to Full Review

Celsius 41.11 is so bad it's almost like performance art, or those cheap records from the '60s, where the Chipmunks sing the Beatles' greatest hits. Go to Full Review

Now that we've had the four more years of Bush that the movie was designed to encourage ... "Celsius 41.11" seems pretty sad and naive. Go to Full Review

A grim slice of ultra-conservative agitprop...probably the worst example of the activist documentary to appear this election season. Go to Full Review

12/19/2018 A hard hitting, fact based documentary, Celsius 41.11 examines the anti-Bush movement as well as several of the controversies that surround 2004 Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry. It begins by analyzing the charges made against President George W. Bush, such as stealing Florida and voter suppression in the 2000 election, and lying about WMDs (Weapons of Mass Destruction) in Iraq. Particular attention is given to leading Bush critic Michael Moore and his propaganda film Fahrenheit 9/11; debunking its numerous lies and inaccuracies (such as the Afghanistan oil pipeline). The film then examines Sen. John Kerry and the criticisms levied against him about his Vietnam service and anti-war activities, and his history of "flip-flopping" on national defense issues. A number of experts and political commentators are interviewed and offer rather astute analyses. However, the production values are kind of weak and the narrative is a little uneven; lacking a cohesive throughline tying everything together. Still, while it has some rough edges, Celsius 41.11 presents a compelling (and rational) defense against the liberal conspiracies that are inflaming political divisiveness. See more 02/28/2009 And after this came out, Michael Moore never made another movie again. See more 05/26/2008 This movie was great and exposed the lies of Micheal Moore as well as some truths about 9/11. You pretty much have to be brain dead to believe Micheal Moore after this movie, they had the soldiers who served even said he didn't interview them and exploited them, the newspaper that he moved paragraphs of the articles around See more 11/03/2007 Some legitiamate points really. And some points left completely out...hmmn, I wonder what that says about THOSE points... See more 10/28/2007 Suppose to be a counter to the lies and deceptions of Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, and may have done that...but BORING! Love or hate Michael Moore...his movies intrigue and entertain. See more 07/08/2007 Why can't republicans make a good documentary? I am about as conservative as it gets but I think that Farenheit 9/11 was a more entertaining movie than this. Celsius 41.11 brings up some very good points on the Iraq war and Bush "stealing" the Florida election. It seems mostly like they are listing facts rather than actually trying to make a film that people will actually want to see. See more Read all reviews
