Review of Roger & Me (1989) by Gene Siskel for Chicago Tribune — 07 Jul 2008
Roger & Me is a pointedly hilarious documentary about a subject that isn't remotely funny, the indifference of corporate America to the lives of its workers. First-time filmmaker Michael Moore shows a city ruined, not by lack of drive and hard work, but by simple corporate greed.
He uses humor to keep the viewer involved in what could easily have been an unbearably depressing film.
