"Slacker Uprising" traces Michael Moore's 62-city tour of the swing states during the 2004 Presidential election and records the thrilling -- and frightening -- response he received across the country. Moore's goal was to convince millions of non-voting "slackers" -- mostly between the ages of 18-29 -- to give voting a try. Starting out in Elk Rapids, Michigan, in front of an audience of 400, the tour caught on like wildfire with up to 16,000 slackers each night coming to see Moore and his traveling band of speakers, comedians, and musicians. To encourage the slackers to show up, they were offered a clean change of underwear, Ramen noodles, and a promise that no event would start before noon and no politician would be allowed to speak. These enticements filled basketball arenas and football stadiums every night on the "Slacker Uprising Tour." Part concert tour, part stand-up comedy performance and part rock concert, SLACKER UPRISING is an uplifting and patriotic look at the birth of a new political generation in America -- a generation of young people who would signal the era of "Obamania" that would take place just four years later.

Movie Reviews

Globe and Mail - 8/10 by Liam LaceySlacker Uprising leaves a hollow feeling, in contrast to the determinedly upbeat self-congratulatory message.
eFilmCritic.com - 8/10 by Rob GonsalvesThere's something heartening about seeing thousands of people responding so happily to Moore's sane, actually unremarkable themes.
Variety - 7/10 by Joe Leydon...this repetitious and self-indulgent hodgepodge comes across as a nostalgia-drenched vanity project, with far too much footage of various celebs at assorted gatherings introing Moore as the greatest thing since sliced bread.
In These Times - 7/10 by Michael AtkinsonSlacker Uprising is empty as protest satire goes, and it lends a cudgel to those who think Moore does what he does for the sheer sake of ego and power.
Aisle Seat - 6/10 by Mike McGranaghanSlacker Uprising is a minor Michael Moore work, without a doubt. It's for hardcore fans only. If you're one of them, it's worth a look, but don't expect to be blown away.
Richmond Times-Dispatch - 6/10 by Mike WardSlacker Uprising is a grossly self-indulgent flick compared to Moore's other works -- a second trip to the Golden Corral buffet when your elastic waistband already reeks of fried okra.
Reel Film Reviews - 6/10 by David Nusair...too long and too repetitive to make any real impact...
Movie Metropolis - 5/10 by Christopher LongIt doesn't offer enough fresh material either to inspire or to infuriate.
Paste Magazine - 3/10 by Sean GandertSlacker Uprising feels more like a commercial for its maker than any sort of artistic endeavor, and because of the election's outcome, its release is more than a little baffling.
User Review - 10/10 by Peter SThis movie is so bittersweet because we all know what happened in 2004, but extremely inspirational as well, because the younger generation inspired in 2004 to go out to vote is growing and maturing and finally being heard in this election, I believe. I also really appreciate his acceptance of Republicans protesters at his rallies and his challenges to them.
