5.0 out of 5 stars A dose of reality 3 Jun 2007
By Spider Woman
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
It isn't about whether this video is well made. It's what the video's about that matters. It gives a dose of the hysterically funny and, when you ponder on it, terribly frightening, reality in this increasingly corporate-controlled world that manages to create the world of 1984, where 2+2=5.

Picture a couple of clever young men giving a demonstration of a "survival suit" for the disasters of global warming to a bunch of corporate middle-level managers. The suit is an inflatable ball that turns the wearer into a giant silver thingie with stuff stuck all over it and no part of the wearer showing but a face. Now, picture the audience sucking it up, taking the entire thing seriously.

Picture the same young men showing another corporate group of elites an inflatable suit that gives the wearer a giant, head-height male-part-of-body [Amazon won't allow the correct anatomical word], while the onlookers accept the entire thing as plausible and for their benefit.

This is the reality shown by The Yes Men. If you're aware of how insane the corporate world (and everything it touches) has become, then this video is hysterically funny. If you aren't aware of just how off-center things have become, then you MUST watch so you can see how utterly in-their-own-world corporations and their minions have become.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, confronting, entertaining satire. 3 April 2006
By "kylieinvienna"
Format:DVD
This is an incredibly funny satire on globilization and the business world in general. "The Yes Men" imitate spokespeople for the WTO and attend meeting and give lectures to actual business meetings. It is quite unbelievable what they get away with saying, and the enthusiam with which their extremely "un PC" comments are met. I can't recommend it highly enough- just see it!

4.0 out of 5 stars "Changing the world one prank at a time" 15 Oct 2006
By M. B. Alcat
Format:DVD
"The Yes men" is an interesting documentary that tells us about the activities of some young men that took upon themselves an interesting task: identity correction. Does that sound strange? Well, as a matter of fact it is strange, but it is also very interesting.

This story is somewhat weird, but at the same time pretty straightforward. Andy and Mike are anti-globalization protestors that thought that the World Trade Organization was doing terrible things, but making public statements that were completely different to its actions. As a result, they decide to steal the WTO's identity, in order to give it a true face.

Andy and Mike set up a website with a very similar address to the website of the World Trade Organization, and their website is in fact mistaken for the WTO official website by many. That is the reason why Andy and Mike end up being invited to conferences all over the world, and giving lectures too weird to be real, but based on reality.

All in all, I think that this is a documentary you will like. It is funny and not overly serious, but makes you think. Not to be missed!
