This one's a perfect example of good intentions fatally flawed by weak execution.
Of course, all the anti-globalization pranks the Yes Men are confronting their unsuspecting audiences with are to be applauded for their daring activism, but even compared to the polemic and sensationalistic likes of Michael Moore (who even appears in this pic for a few short moments) there's no sharp satirical edge to the duo's mischief. Their fake presentations are simply too silly, while the didactic and emotional impact remains slight.
Additionally, the storyline and editing are way too sloppy, focusing more on the Yes Men's preparations than on the activities themselves.
Still, this kind of leftist guerrilla cinema is welcome, but it could've been so much better.
