Bowling For Columbine is a Michael Moore documentary about the American love affair with the gun. It succeeds in showing a well-rounded view of the use of fire power in the USA. This DVD is not for the timid or the easily offended. It is also NOT for anyone under the age of 18. They will not sell it to you if you are under 18.

The mature person who is interested in learning about gun control in America.

Michael Moore did an excellent job in portraying all sides. He didn't lean to those who are against nor did he glamorize gun usage. He gave it to us without sugar.

It was graphic. Very graphic. It was disturbing.

Cry for us here in America.

Outraged. Sad. Thoughtful and Afraid.

Michael Moore interviewed Charlton Heston and Marylin Manson. He tried to interview Dick Clark, but never really got the chance. My opinion of those he interviewed varies.

The shock value of it wears off and it can be educational.

I don't recommend this for impressionable teens.

If by chance a young teen gets a hold of this film, I hope they view it responsibly. I hope they understand the reason behind the content of this film. It is a necessary piece of work for our times.
