Tagline: "A global warning."
Length: 96 minutesMPAA Rating: PG for mild thematic elements
Al Gore, the former U.S. Vice President and candidate for U.S. President, presents his views on global warning in this op-ed piece. It's a compelling multimedia presentation with charts, graphs, photographs, archival footage, interviews, anecdotes, and other materials. Gore's earnestness and passion help him make a persuasive case that the world's climate is changing and we'd better try to figure out what to do about it. The film is intellectually engaging, and it's worth seeing whether you agree with Gore or not. Selected DVD Special Features:
- Widescreen

Tagline: "Two's company. Dupree's a crowd."
Length: 108 minutesMPAA Rating: PG-13 for sexual content, brief nudity, crude humor, language and a drug reference
