Michael Moore/YMMV

• Anvilicious: It wouldn't be a Moore film without it.
  • Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped, but he does tend to anvil-carpet-bomb.
• Critical Research Failure: Hoo boy. While there are genuine examples, its uncertain how many are genuine errors, and how many are "the truth and facts aren't sensationalist enough". Either way, he's rife with errors and/or unsupported claims.
• Don't Shoot the Message: Even some of Moore's fellow liberals have given him flak for his sensationalism, also accusing him of being a "limousine liberal" who has little actual sympathy for the working classes.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Moore's relentless harassment of an elderly Charlton Heston was thought of as distasteful at the time by some; add that we now know Heston was struggling with the early stages of Alzheimer's disease and prostate cancer...
  • Just to make it clear, Moore was so thoroughly insulting, rude, and lacking in common decency that Heston left his own house to bring the interview to an end.
