Or at least I tried watching it. I mean you know what kind of a movie you are getting into when its cast is Paris Hilton, Kevin Sorbo, James Woods, Robert Davi, and Kelsey Grammer.
It's supposed to be a parody of Michael Moore's movies done by the famous parodist who made the movie "Airplane". So the way to parody Moore's movies would be, I guess, to recreate some of the scenes from his movies, and TV shows, and make fun of them, but no. They did that for one scene in one of the three beginnings this movie has, but then they went on to make fun of how Moore eats a lot of junk food, how he smells, that he's horny all the time, and how he apparently loves Hitler.
I mean when you yell at someone that he is fat and smelly you are not making a comedy, you are just angry.
Then they go on to criticize "the Left" and its apparent love of Hitler. Which is rather curious from today's perspective. In this movie's universe, Hollywood is making copies of Leni Riefenstahl movies and awards them with Oscars.
They claim that the Left doesn't know history, so General Patton gives Moore a history lesson on how politics of trying to negotiate with evil dictators is futile. They show us how Neville Chamberlain was weak to think he could negotiate with Hitler who was just laughing behind his back. Yeah. I only wish that the makers of this movie (Davi, Woods, Sorbo, and Grammer) remembered this lesson before they all went to support the Orange fascist (who is fat, eats a lot of junk food, smells, is horny all the time, and loves Hitler) who is being openly laughed at by Putin as he tries to surrender to him in his ridiculous peace propositions as he cowardly pretends that The Budapest Memorandum doesn't exist.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
