The YES Men

Clay

I vaguely recall hearing about this movie on NPR. The Yes Men is a cross between social commentary (i.e. Michael Moore, who provides a cameo in tYM) and prankster sensibility, ala Borat.

Overall, the film is worthwhile, although slow and meandering at parts. tYM is a grassroots documentary about a few guys who have made it their mission to prank the WTO. By disguising themselves as suits from the World Trade Organization, they infiltrate the bohemouth. Its very similar to the Ali G formula of commentary via mockery. It is absolutely hilarious. . . at parts.

The biggest drawback is that the Yes Men don't seem to have enough material to fill a movie, so much of the film ends up being footage of them preparing for their pranks. However, the pranks themselves are hilarious. If you don't have a lot of time, skip ahead to the scenes where they present their stunts.

Overall rating: 4/8 slices, only because a lot of the film feels like filler. An enjoyable film.

TARA

I agree with Clay on most points for this film. Not enough material to leave you feeling satisfied; even the special features leave you feeling incomplete. You can’t help but wonder, are theseguys being sued? What are they doing now? Etc…
