Where to Invade Next

The most salient point Moore makes in "Where to Invade Next" is that so many of the ideas explored in the doc are American, historically speaking.

This is sociology for dummies - and even they might find Moore's points overly laboured.

For anyone who's never seen a Michael Moore film and wants the entire experience at once -- it's all here.

[Moore has] made his most enjoyable film in years and also his most inspiring, the antidote to prevailing global doom and gloom.

Occasionally poignant but ham-handed and only semi-funny.

Moore, taking on his everyman role, delights in sharing that many of the programs and policies he highlights are founded on American ideals.

Where to Invade Next is a departure from Moore's typically cynical, end-of-days vibe - this doco feels different, even optimistic. And although Moore does not present one cohesive solution, at least he's asking the questions in the first place.

The documentary has no real solutions but is nevertheless stirring and at times inspiring.

The issues presented in Where to Invade Next are disillusioning enough to provoke reflection on our society instead of irritation at Moore's antics.

The travelogue provides plenty to chew on, but one wishes it were possible to separate the merit of Moore's suggestions from the smug superiority he exudes whenever he speaks.

Moore does a good job of introducing US viewers to different perspectives, and the movie is aimed at a home audience who might not be aware that countries like Slovenia even exist.
