Review of Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? (2008) by David C — 20 Oct 2008

This film did not deliver on it's promise. No, I don't mean that I'm mad that he didn't find Osama bin Laden, but don't title your movie about bin Laden when everything in it is just about how America needs to leave the Middle East, which, I believe, is one of bin Laden's wishes as well. It just seems a bit contradictory to me. And I was not with Spurlock at all because of his reasoning to leave and when he left America to do this: He wants to find out how dangerous the world is going to be for his unborn child, so he takes off for the Middle East leaving his wife to go through her pregnancy without him. It just seemed like such a heartless and pointless thing to do, especially since there was no real attainable goal for his mission and his point is just hammered home time and time again by finding enough Arabs that claim they love Americans but want us to stay away. (Not that I think we should be all over the Middle East, but I don't need to hear random Arabs sugarcoating something I have no control of.).

Oh, the rabbis who attack Spurlock are amusing and I did enjoy that whole part of the film.
