Seven years ago I wrote about this documentary that I found it entertaining. Now as the only truly entertaining thing remains the statement that bowling might be as much a plausible influence on the shooters as anything else.
Moore probably has good intentions, but I'm not sure about the direction of the road he's paving with them. A lot of the situations look like they could have been handled differently... and mostly more smartly. The thing that hasn't changed during the years I had to think about this film is that I still consider the couple of sentences Marilyn says to be the intellectual (and most likely argumentational) peak of the film, and since he didn't even got to say that much, that paints a pretty accurate picture of the film's depth.
