Movie review - "The Yes Men" (2005) **1/2

There is a special place in Heaven for left wing American activists, they're really up against it in that country, but there are sometimes perks, too - like Herb Alpert, of the Tijuana Brass Band fame, helps fund these pranksters to go around the world pulling jokes. I found this more interesting than the pranks themselves which were kind of cool but none of them "water cooler" ish - nothing really funny like Mike Moore running a tree for congress or trucking communism around the country or something the Chaser might do. And the "tension" eg the guys sleeping in, is a bit ho-hum. We don't get to know the characters that well either. Aussies will be tickled the finale involves them at an Australian WTO conference - Aussies interviewed come out of it very compassionate and kindly.
