Review of The Yes Men Fix the World (2009) by Mike K — 19 Apr 2011
A thoroughly enjoyable, informative, and often grimace-inducing documentary which follows the Yes Men as they hoax and fool their way around some very mentally and ethically limited capitalists. The suits cop quite a bashing, which is all the more riveting given they completely deserve it, but economic rationalists who remain under the dismal spell of Friedman et al will no doubt be throwing nearby objects at their 28 foot tvs - which makes me enjoy the film all the more.
The conclusion, in which they produce and distribute their vision of what ought to be in the New York Times in 6 months is a stroke of genius, as is their now infamous impersonation of a representative of Dow Chemicals in an interview with the BBC.
Someone give these guys a medal or something.
