Entertaining and Informative

I thought that this movie was pretty good. It opened my eyes to problems with the U.N. but did not make me think it was a completely useless organization. It was entertaining and informative and probably should be shown in University if you are taking a class specifically on the U.N. (which I did many moons ago). If after watching the preview you would want to see it then you will not be disappointed. I also liked the main guy interviewer in the film, sometimes I find them so off putting that even when I agree with the message (like with Michael Moore) I find the way they do things so annoying that I cannot watch the film and happily this was not the case here.

A great companion piece to Armando Iannucci's "In the Loop"

As someone who saw the film two years ago and loved it, I've noticed two kinds of responses: actual film reviews, which are generally favorable, and pieces attacking the filmmakers' perceived politics and intentions, which say more about what the reviewer brings to the film than what s/he sees on screen.

As I said, I loved the movie, or at least the version I saw then when it was on tour (I haven't seen the new edit). As others have observed, it's a perfect companion piece to Armando Ionucci's "In the Loop": at times hysterically absurd, and at other times, just painfully tragic. I'm not kidding when I say I laughed and I cried, often all at once.

I highly recommend this imperfectly brilliant film. In the tradition of Michael Moore, but more clever by half, and more resonant.

Powerful movie

Amy Horowitz uses humor and a sense of the absurd to highlight the morass that is now the UN due to the fact that any country, regardless of it human rights record, has an equal vote. So Syria can be on the Security Counsel and the only country to preoccupy the UN is Israel. Ami shows that in spite of the powerful things the UN can do, it is fundamentally messed up at the most basic level -- how decisions are made and how priorities are set. And it is clear what needs to be done to fix it. And we in the US have the money to force the changes. If we have the will.

Great movie. Great message. Worth the view.

UN Me highlights the inept corrupt nature of the UN. What a quagmire!

With "human rights council" and Security Council members from the likes of Syria, Lybia and Iran on the human rights and Security Councils, how can we hope for legitimacy? In the ashes of World War II, the UN was created to foster human rights and democracy; instead we have allowed any nation at all to join regardless of their own respect, or lack of respect, for human rights and democracy. So sad.

Every despot has his own agenda in the UN, its a quagmire of bureaucracy and corruption.

UN Me is fun to watch and eye opening. Its well done, fast paced, and nicely documents some aspects of the problems at the United Nations.

My favorite DVD of all time

This DVD made me laugh at the same time it made me cry and made my blood boil. This is Toto pulling the curtain exposing the Wizard of Oz! You just have to gasp when you see the pathetic baseness of the esteemed diplomats and plutocrats who are running the U.N. and the world. This is a DVD you can never forget! You get a very good idea of the DVD from watching the trailer. Avi Horowitz and his camera crew gain access to U.N. dignitaries, and capture on film their responses to questions that perhaps no one else has asked them. Equally interesting is his portrait of U.N. "blue helmets" collecting big salaries while enjoying the beach, and "the locals." After seeing this DVD, you will want to pull the plug on the farce and waste of money called the United Nations.
