While the feature documentary runs almost 90 minutes, the special features include records of even more stunts the Yes Men have pulled off, as well as going into more depth on some of the projects that were included in the main part of the documentary. For those wanting to know more about the two minds behind the Yes Men there's also some biographical details provided as well as some early attempts at Internet and video activism.

While there are moments of hilarity throughout the The Yes Men Fix The World, and they do their best to end on an note of optimism, it's hard not to feel pessimistic after watching it. Thinking of the literally billions of dollars that are spent annually in order to perpetuate the myth of the free market, in the end it's hard to believe, no matter how many people take to the streets, no matter how often corporate greed and duplicity are exposed, that business as usual won't continue to be business as usual. Until there comes a time when that changes, nothing much else will. As long as we continue to place a higher value on profit than we do on life that's not going to happen.
