Not being American, and never having shopped in Walmart I cannot comment on the original argument. However "some good old American bashing from Europe" is a stupid and ignorant comment for two reasons:
1. Europe has plenty of stores with the same faults that this film claims for Walmart, I have even worked for a couple of them in the distant (but not distant enough) past. Any comments from Europe on this subject (if there are any) would be along the lines of "they are as bad as us". "American bashing" takes the form of "they are worse than us", and those that do it only pick on targets where those who defend America cannot say "you do it too".
2. All comments I have heard in the British media (Britain is part of Europe) have been from American commentators, or from people who are commenting on American commentators.
