Review of Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005) by Josh M — 23 Jul 2007
The best that can be said about this New American Liberal Outrage doc was said by an elderly man sitting behind me in the theatre?the only other patron to stay through the credits. As I got up, he looked at me and grimaced.
I raised my eyebrows in acknowledgement, and he muttered ?Oh! la-la? shaking his head in disgust. That is to say that like any good exploitation film, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room served its purpose: arousing self-satisfied liberal disgust (which incidentally is the only way American liberals seem to get aroused anymore).
I strongly suspect that my new theatre buddy came to the movie just to oh-la-la it in despair, just as I had come in hopes of raising my eyebrows.
