Where in the World is Osama bin Laden?

Stunt documentarian Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) is in over his head here. Though it offers occasional, enlightening glimpses into the lives of everyday Muslims, this is mostly a desperate attempt to justify the conceit of the title. Spurlock trots out a lot of gimmicks – himself on a camel, bin Laden’s head on a figure dancing to “U Can’t Touch This” – but none of them convey any real information. The movie makes him look like the Junior Whopper of Michael Moore-style documentarians.
