The Yes Men (2004)
Documentaries seem to be in vogue at the moment but I wonder just how many of them are worthy of a theatrical release. This film is a case in point. It relates the exploits of two hoaxers who pass themselves off as experts from the World Trade Organization and who as such are invited to speak on TV and at conferences. The fact that they talk a load of codswallop seems to be ignored by their audience. The subject is not uninteresting but there is absolutely nothing filmic about this picture -- it might just as well have been a television programme -- even there, I think the segment where they talk about solving famine by reprocessing eaten food (use your imagination how this could be done) would have remained nauseating.
