I agree. I think his later work is pretty awful, but Roger and Me is simply a love story to his hometown of Flint. I don't think the current Moore could make this film, particularly the sympathetic portrayal of the sherriff who evicts people from their homes.
I watch Moore's work as an opinion column rather than a documentary.
He's a great filmmaker, just not a good documentarian.

Why can't a documentary BE an advocacy column? It's not a balanced piece that strives for neutrality, it is often an argument and a plea for action. I think a documentary that is so slanted it distorts facts becomes worthless, but almost every documentarian is a passionate advocate of their topic. I want my movie to have a point of view.
