| 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. |

| Pros |
A persuasive and compelling documentary that won a fistful of awards. |
| Cons |
Let me get back to you about that.... |
| Bottom Line |
A truly impressive documentary that reviews the unfairness of the American system of health care. |

(12/01/2007, p.91, Richard Kelly): "A trawl of witnesses betrayed by HMOs shows his filmmaking at its most brilliant, and raises the odd bitter laugh....Moore also nails the guilty politicians with vigour and relish..."
