But as reports of human rights violations and international conflicts make daily headlines, a question arises: Is the United Nations living up to its founding ideals? The answer is a resounding no. In a film that exposes the incompetence and corruption at the heart of the United Nations, filmmakers Ami Horowitz and Matthew Groff show how an organization created to ennoble mankind now actually enables evil and sows global chaos. U.N. Me takes us on a harrowing and darkly humorous tour of the U.N.'s scandalous disregard for the people and principles it was founded to defend. -- (C) Official site

Critic Reviews
-
Dennis Harvey, Variety
These japes only do a disservice to the film's many serious allegations.
-
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
He scores some good points, if at times his tone seems slightly inappropriate to the gravity of the subject.
-
Farran Smith Nehme, New York Post
What truly makes "U.N. Me'' repulsive is its crassness.
-
Mindy Farabee, Los Angeles Times
The result is far from evenhanded, but capable of raising important questions.
-
Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
A sassy documentary that suggests the United Nations is doing more harm than good.
