Poor press? I saw a lukewarm review in the New Yorker, but everything else I've seen has been a rave. Ken Turan in the LA Time isn't that easy to please but he gave it glowing good marks. The day after the review there was a long interview with Moore that was front page of the Calendar section. I've since lost track of the other great reviews but the overall impression appears to be overwhelmingly positive. I fully agree with you about the movie and the message. It's high time for for reform.
