Capitalism: A Love Story (Moore 2009)
I really want my dad to watch this movie.About halfway through Capitalism: A Love Story, I had the same thought I had during pretty much every prior Michael Moore movie I'd seen - I strongly agree with his underlying politics, but damn if his methods aren't annoyingly emotionally manipulative.  Onscreen was a family from (I believe) Texas.  Their matriarch died young, and her former employe
