Trailer for Michael Moore's 'Sicko' Released
Filed under: Documentary, Cannes, Celebrities and Controversy, Movie Marketing, Politics
You know you're an expert at causing controversy when you earn your very own investigation from the Treasury Department. So, we should all probably get comfortable with the arrival of Michael Moore's new documentary Sicko, which just recently screened at Cannes, and will be stirring up who knows what kind of trouble as its release date gets closer. Moviefone is now hosting the trailer for the documentary, which gives us a look at what looks to be another well-meaning, if not-a-little-biased entry from the socially conscious filmmaker. It includes a quick look at the stunt that landed Moore in trouble with the Treasury Department in the first place.The film, as you probably know, is Moore's expose of the U.S. health care system. The response to it has been pretty positive so far, and inexplicably the doc even managed to get thumbs up from Fox News. But not everyone is feeling the love for the film -- a group of disgruntled Canadian journalists recently confronted the filmmaker at a press conference claiming, "We Canucks were taking issue with the large liberties Sicko takes with the facts." Mainly, their problem is that Moore patronized Canada by claiming their health-care system was problem-free, which, as I am sure my fellow countrymen know, is not the case. Sicko is set to hit theaters June 29th.

I wonder if good old Michael put in his film about Cuban health care that Casto's health team is headed by a doctor from Spain.
Also, Moore reminds me of Peter Griffin on Family Guy.

I just watched the trailer -- wow. I didn't expect that there would be a kinda funny spin on it, but I loved it. It's really sarcastic...especially loved the opening bit w/Bush. I can't WAIT to see this. It may be biased, but as long as we all keep this in mind when we see it, i think it's going to be a real eye-opener.
