It is rather different from Roger and Me and Bowling for Columbine since
it relies very heavily in archival footage. Also, as Shannon pointed
out, it contains little if anything that any reasonably well-informed
person (especially one with Internet access) is not likely to know
already. In addition, the subject matter is such that you're unlikely to
find yourself laughing much. Personally, I was rather disappointed.
