He definitely has a unique style, but he's often very liberal with the truth. If you want to be entertained, watch his documentaries, but take what he says with a pinch of salt. Sicko, was very interesting, primarily because it was mostly factual. The US health system really is that bad, there was no need to exaggerate or embelish. He's been sued numerous times. But if his movies make say $80 million, why not throw in some controversial 'facts' that gets him and the movie publicity, then settle for $3 million when sued? Take Fahrenheit 9/11 for example, very entertaining, but from a factual point of view - complete junk. It was practically a work of fiction. I'd definitely recommend Sicko, if you haven't seen it. And if you like these kind of documentaries I'd also recommend Walmart: The high cost of low prices and Enron:The smartest guys in the room.

He's a little too self absorbed for my liking, a bit of an "owner-operator"...

Enron:The smartest guys in the room.

seen that one a few times now - still amazes me what they tried and did get away with
