Review of Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? (2008) by Jd T — 22 Apr 2008

The reason I went to see this was because I like the man, Morgan Spurlock, and his films and TV shows. I thought this one had a few good laughs and lots of heart. We get to see by way of Spurlock's interviews how many people in the middle east are not that different than we are in the U.

S. Those folks want schools for their children, food and water, and they don't like the U.S. government but don't blame the U.S. citizens. I think this was the main point of this film. I found it hard to believe that a man would travel across the globe to do this film while his wife is expecting their first child.

Otherwise, I thought that this film had a basic good nature about it. The most fascinating part was how all of the Muslims were polite but the men in Israel were absolute jerks. I was surprised that Morgan didn't smack one of those guys in the face.

He was a better diplomat than I would have been. I was surprised that while in Egypt, Spurlock learns that the natives thought we were at war with them as well. Most of the Muslims don't like Osama but feel that he is but one man and a war should not be waged only for one human who has put shame on these God (or Alah) fearing people.

I wouldn't say that this was a "must see" but it was entertaining, informative and creative. I hope to see more from Mr. Spurlock.
