Not really.
I haven't seen the thing since 2004. But I thought it was pretty dumb and ironically very US centric in its treatment of these topics. It wasn't a deep criticism. It also at the same time mocked celebrities for being against the war.
For the record I was very vehemently against the Iraq war from day one.

- justinclift 3y agoLots of people seemed to have really liked it. As an example, when I was staying at a backpacking hostel in Perth, Australia many years ago the entire lounge area was packed out by people (during the day!) when it was being shown. That was ~70 people, many of them who were walking by initially but saw it on and stuck around to watch it. In that backpacking hostel, there'd not been anywhere close to that number of people watching any other movie. So, there was definitely some kind of interest by people. :)
