...movie isn't as deft or compact as Zucker's YouTube video this summer of a man being strangled by the pump at a gas station, but it has its funny parts. One is the running gag that Malone isn't a "real" moviemaker because he does documentaries. "Nobody likes documentaries," somebody says. "But many people find them restful." As it happens, Fahrenheit 9/11 earned more at the domestic box office than any movie David Zucker has directed.
