Review of The Big One

The Big One (1997)
8/10
Not as good as "Roger and Me"
10 May 1999
"The Big One" is entertaining and has a glimmer of the ingenuity used to make "Roger and Me," but it just doesn't match up. Michael Moore steps on his soapbox and grabs his mike and blabs at the viewer for 25% of the movie. Although this makes his ideas clear as a bell, it doesn't do much for the movie. I wish that he had shown his ideals through filming others rather than himself, as he did with "Roger and Me."

Still, this movie does have some wonderful things about it. Moore's ability to go anywhere and ask anything is commendable and the result is amusingly scary. Whatever you do, see "Roger and Me" first.
