Rating : - Line Up The Sheep, It's Time To Shop
I've always been skeptic about Wal-Mart, yet still shopped there. The workers looked unhappy, tired. I asked a few what was wrong (just out of curiosity) and got the answer "tired."

This movie, along with The Corporation, give insight as to what huge companies really care about: themselves. The shutting out of small businesses, the exploitation of workers (here and overseas), the stripping of "benefits," and just the overall competition to make more are explored in this film. Some reviewers complained about the low quality of the film, but they might be used to documentaries with a bigger budget. What this movie lacks in flash they make up with information.

I haven't been to Wal-Mart since watching this. And I know it really doesn't make a difference to them. Millions of other sheep are herded into their stores with the "Low Price" advertizing, and especially the economic trouble we're in right now, that concept of "saving" is being exploited. People don't care anymore about anything except money...that goes for us too!

You don't have to believe anything I or the filmakers say about Wal-Mart. Do your own research and see what you find. I did, and would rather be homeless than be associated with Wal-Mart.
