Celsius 41.11 counters what producers Lionel Chetwynd and Ted Steinberg deem to be lies and deceptions presented in Michael Moore's controversial documentary Fahrenheit 9/11. The title alludes to "the temperature at which the brain deteriorates from heat -- in this case, from Moore's left wing rhetoric," according to Chetwynd. Includes appearances by Fred Thompson, Charles Krauthammer, Fred Barnes, Michael Medved and many others.

As a return volley to Moore's cinema, Celsius shares Moore's blatant agit-prop but none of his humor or entertainment sense.
Celsius 41.11 is so bad it's almost like performance art, or those cheap records from the '60s, where the Chipmunks sing the Beatles' greatest hits.
The even faintly informed will see only a cut-rate vision of flabby white men defending their own bloodthirsty opportunism.
There's really nothing more here than you can find watching dreadful political advertisements and dreadful political talk shows.
There is little new in this mostly dry and humorless defense of President Bush, which adds a little heat but not a whole lot of light to the political debate.
There are some very thought-provoking points, and the movie deserves a balanced listening-to.
Now that we've had the four more years of Bush that the movie was designed to encourage ... Celsius 41.11 seems pretty sad and naive.
A grim slice of ultra-conservative agitprop...probably the worst example of the activist documentary to appear this election season.
Any way you look at it, November 2 simply cannot arrive fast enough.
A bland documentary if ever there was one.
It's not that Moore's film doesn't deserve an argument. But it does deserve a more thoughtful one.
It's about as emotional as a PowerPoint presentation.
If Knoblock expected his film to change minds, as Fahrenheit 9-11 seems to have done, he really should have added more humor
Chetwynd and company at least attempt to score their points honestly, avoiding the spurious or ad hominem attacks of those for whom many little lies somehow constitute fair play in November's battle against the Big Red One.
Some legitiamate points really. And some points left completely out...hmmn, I wonder what that says about THOSE points...
November 3, 2007The rebuttals offered not only dance around Michael Moore's original points, but are not credible. Plain and Simply.
