geezelle Thought Provoking movie. You can ask your self, if this country can make this happen why can't we.

radegeddon "Where to invade next?" is an expansive, funny and subversive comedy in which the Oscar-winning MM confronts all the burning problems of today's America and finds solutions in strangest places. The creator of films such as "Fahrenheit 11/9" and "Capitalism: A Love Story" returned with a big movie that is different from everything he has done so far.A call to arms to win and regain the American dream right here in America. One of the most honest and most valuable patriotic films that an American has ever recorded...An optimistic accomplishment based on a challenging, but invaluable idea: we can do better.

Michael_Elliott Where to Invade Next (2015) *** (out of 4)Here's another entertaining film (not documentary) from Michael Moore that has him invading several countries to try and learn about their great policies so that he can bring them to the evil North America.WHERE TO INVADE NEXT is another Moore film where he pretty much bashes America and lets everyone know how awful it is. He tells us about the awful America while at the same time showing us how wonderful other places around the globe are. Did you know Iceland is striving because women control the banks? How about eight weeks of vacation? We learn about that too.Look, Moore is not a documentary filmmaker because he admits to making things up to support whatever cause he's going for. He even admits that he isn't going to comment on the bad things going on in the countries he invades because he wants to highlight the "good" stuff. At the same time, he doesn't bother to talk about the great thing about America and instead just looks at the bad so that makes the entire film a bit one-sided to say the least.I do find it funny that he talks about how great everything else is but bashes America and yet he doesn't want a wall built here. Since America is so bad and there are so many better places, it looks like he'd want people to not be able to come to America since there are better places for them to go.In all seriousness, Moore is a talented filmmaker and there's no question about that. WHERE TO INVADE NEXT gets his points across no matter how one-sided they are. As is the case with all of his films, it seems many have come out and said things are quite as they appear. Does that take away from the entertainment? Not at all. This is an entertaining movie and it's certainly worth watching as such.

Andrea Eriksson This review will contain spoilers!You will in this movie follow Michael Moore's quest around the world for ideas that other countries developed to a greater extent than the Americans. The thoughts he highlights are for example how many weeks of paid vacation the Italians get, Portugal's laws around drug use, teenage pregnancies 'sin France, Norway's view on imprisonment and Finland's school system, but also more. In my opinion Michael Moore did a good job and caught my attention by bringing up these subjects above, but are his statements in the film true or does he have a hidden agenda and wants to change people's minds? Research shows that Italians don't get 8-9 weeks of paid vacation per year. On the contrary, at most, they get six whole weeks of paid vacation per year. This proves that Michael Moore's assertion is false (http://www.law.harvard.edu/programs/lwp/papers/No_Holidays.pdf). Michael Moore indicates that France's adolescent fertilities are fewer than in America, and from what I found, there is ample support for this. 2015, teenage pregnancies within the ages 15 to 19 were in America 32 per 1000 and in France 9 per 1000. (http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.ADO.TFRT? end=2015&locations=FR&start=2015&view=bar) Studies also shows results of how the pregnancy rate has decreased in both countries since 2011. In France the number has decreased with 64 percent and in the United States with 44 percent. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4852976/table/T1/#TFN5 ) It is still important to realize that Michael Moore wants to make a statement with the content of the documentary. For this reason he might twist the truth to get empathy, but this is not one of those cases. The fact that the pregnancy rate is much lower in France is true, nonetheless Moore's contention that it has to do with the different ways to talk about sex doesn't have to be. All things considered, I believe that this is a documentary worth watching. On one hand he shows various thoughts in different countries which, at least in my case, made me more curious about the priorities and the citizen's positive attitude to them. On the other hand it's a great film to reflect on and it contains subjects to be critical about, with its interesting meaning expressed in a funny and eye-catching way. To conclude, I would strongly recommend this documentary to everyone, as long as they keep in mind to be critical.
