DESCRIPTION:
September 24 and October 1 theater openings

The Yes Men, a movie, follows a couple of anti-corporate activist-pranksters as they impersonate World Trade Organization spokesmen on TV and at business conferences around the world. (Click here for official movie site, here for the trailer, and here for some articles about it.)

The story follows Andy and Mike from their beginnings with GWBush.com, and on to their tasteless parody of the WTO's website. Some visitors don?t notice the site is a fake, and send speaking invitations meant for the real WTO. Mike and Andy play along with the ruse and soon find themselves attending important functions as WTO representatives.



Delighted to speak for the organization they oppose, Andy and Mike don thrift-store suits and set out to shock their unwitting audiences with darkly comic satires on global free trade. Weirdly, the experts don?t notice the joke and seem to agree with every terrible idea the two can come up with.

Exhausted by their failed attempts to shock, Mike and Andy take a whole new approach for one final lecture.

The Yes Men is directed by Dan Olman, Sarah Price, and Chris Smith, whose previous credits include the 1999 Sundance Winner ?American Movie.? It is being released by United Artists on September 24.

Theaters opening dates and places:

Sept 24:

* New York: Landmark Sunshine, Loews Lincoln Square

* LA: Pacific ArcLight, Laemmle Monica (Santa Monica)



Oct 1:

* Philadelphia: POSL Ritz,

* Voorhees, NJ: POSL Ritz

* Boston: Loews Copley Place

* Bethesda MD: Landmark Bethesda Row

* Chicago: Landmark Century Shopping Centre

* Evanston: Century Evanston

* SF: Landmark Embarcadero

If the box office returns for the above are sufficient, The Yes Men will then move into the "red" states.
