Pros Honest and forthright look at the American Health Care System.
Cons Not fully fleshed out; a few factual errors.
Bottom Line Sicko bears watching with an un-jaundiced eye; that is if you value your health!

Pros Our plight. Will.the.damn.bill.pass? Imperfect, controversial, we need to start somewhere.
Cons It's a Moore film. There is rhetoric.
Bottom Line I first wrote this in 2007, directly after coming out of the theater. It's an auspicious weekend for the topic, and I wonder how we let this happen.

Pros Michael Moore uses real people and real circumstances. Who in the health industry has their "story".
Cons The only CON I have is that I'd like a sequel to this movie !
Bottom Line Fantastic and REAL!
 
Pros Attempted to discuss an important issue facing America.
Cons Failed as a documentary by not presenting all sides of the issue.
Bottom Line Sicko took an important subject and addressed it in a one-dimensional attempt to prove a pre-determined conclusion. In doing so, the film failed to present a balanced discussion.
