When the United Nations was founded more than sixty years ago, it embodied our hope for a safer, more peaceful world.

The answer is a resounding no. In a film that exposes the incompetence and corruption at the heart of the United Nations, filmmakers Ami Horowitz and Matthew Groff show how an organization created to ennoble mankind now actually enables evil and sows global chaos.

Unfortunately, mocking jibes and cutaways to Team America and Wonder Woman (among other movies and TV shows) establish a jokey attitude that weakens the overall case. Full Review

Horowitz has Michael Moore's smug tendencies without his schlubby everyman charm, which makes his attempts at goading humor out of uncomfortable interviews come off as unpleasant. Full Review

Horowitz comes off as a deceptive jokester, so he doesn't always warrant a serious response from his audience. But we do need documentaries that reach beyond safe boundaries. Full Review

Rightwing idiocy. The UN has its problems but this ex-investment banker has no idea how to solve them. Full Review

This is a disturbingly blinkered film. Full Review

But U.N. Me isn't all sneering, and it certainly makes its points. Full Review

You'll never look at the U.N. the same after seeing this film. Full Review

Harvey S. Karten, Compuserve

A humorously ironic look at what the filmmakers believe to be incompetence and corruption at the United Nations. Full Review
