SummaryIn a film that exposes the incompetence and corruption at the heart of the United Nations, filmmaker Ami Horowitz exposes how an organization created to ennoble mankind actually enables chaos and global discord. As disturbing as the picture painted by U.N. Me may be, Horowitz manages to keep us laughing throughout the film. (Disruptive Pictures)

The result is far from evenhanded, but capable of raising important questions.

Not much here is new, but condensing it all into one zippy documentary makes for an ugly portrait.

Covering a lot of ground in colorful, pacey fashion, the documentary is nonetheless somewhat compromised itself by co-director Ami Horowitz's insistence on playing the Michael Moore/Morgan Spurlock role of onscreen provocateur.

A damning account of institutional dysfunction whose ability to stoke indignation is undercut by its filmmakers' misguided comic antics.

Unfortunately, mocking jibes and cutaways to Team America and Wonder Woman (among other movies and TV shows) establish a jokey attitude that weakens the overall case.

By focusing only on a selection of (arguably) worst cases, the filmmakers are undermining the important work of thousands of dedicated UN staff and the crucial role the UN plays in maintaining a global platform for global issues for all governments, which enables governments to talk rather than go to war on each other.
