Reviews

"Greenwald floats the vital issue of whether Wal-Mart should be restrained by antimonopoly regulations, but his real question is cultural: Even with its rock-bottom prices, is Wal-Mart in the best interest of American consumers?"

   - Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

"The cut-rate colossus didn't just ride the tide that sucked industrial jobs out of our towns and cities and spat out low-wage service-sector jobs in the sprawling exurbs -- it helped create it, and at the very least drastically accelerated it."

   - Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com

"The movie's masterstroke is to avoid interviewing the usual anti-globalist suspects and let solid, hard-working middle Americans speak."

   - Ty Burr, Boston Globe

"Important, awareness-building documentary."

   - Ken Fox, TV Guide

"Makes its case with breathtaking force."

   - Anita Gates, The New York Times
