In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Dear Michael Moore I live all my live in Europe and started to think if I've missed something in here... I hope with this documentary will get the situation in the US better. In company's people have to listen don't get to say a lot. In Europe you get discriminated on religious and cultural bases. They all say that they treat you as the same until you ask them this very same question when they had a drink or two...

Where to invade next is a documentary produced by Michael Moore and was released in late 2015. The documentary is about how Michael Moore (the producer and writer of the documentary) travels all around Europe to find ideas from different European countries, which he can later on bring back to the United States to make the United States more like Europe. Michael utilizes humor to show and describe a complex problem to his viewers in a simple way. But in my opinion too much humor can be very deceiving and as a viewer you can miss the importance of the subject. Michael Moore is an extremely good producer and writer. He's really talented and knows exactly how to catch someone's attention in his new documentary ''Where to invade next''. Although Michael knows what he's doing, he has a tendency to be a lot one-sided. This makes me question almost everything he says in the documentary'. It's my assertion that Michael Moore doesn't show us the whole truth, only what looks good on television. This makes me question if I really can believe everything that Michael tells us, or if he is just angling the facts again? And if so, why?In his documentary he compares the United States with Europe and according to me, Michael presents a picture of how awful the United States is and tells us how Europe is superior in almost every sense. Michael show us how different some parts of the United States are as compared to Europe and in my own naive world I did not believe that the gap between Europe and the United States was that big. What I perceived from the documentary was that the people in Europe and in the United States pays almost the same in taxes. The difference is that the United States choose to use the tax income to finance the military instead of focusing on free healthcare, free college degrees and education for every child. So I agree with Michael Moore on one point: We both want free healthcare, free college degree and education for everyone. So, to summarize, in my opinion Michael utilizes in a humorous way an important issue and puts light on the big differences between the United States and the countries that he visits in Europe. Differences in respect to one and another , gender equality, working conditions and free college degrees. Despite the importance of the documentary it's also very important to question the content, when Michael unilaterally describes the subject. What I want to bring about to you, the reader, is the importance of being critical.

Where to invade next? – Review*This will contain spoilers*I've just watched the documentary "where to invade next by?" Michael Moore (2015). A well know director and author with other well-known documentaries. He is also known to have strong political view in his documentaries (liberal) which sometimes make his work a bit biased. Now I will tell you my opinion about the documentary.In this movie Mike is invading a bunch of European countries with the goal to steal some useful ideas for him to bring back home. He travels all around Europe and speaks to politicians, polices, teachers and so on. During his trip to Europe he only found good things to bring back to America, surprisingly. For example the vacation system in Italy, the food served in school cafeterias in France and the prison system in Norway. He is really questioning the way America is governed and praises the way many countries in is governed.In my point of view this documentary is a very biased one. He only shows the bad thing in every country and only the bad things from America. Like all of Europe is so great and America really hasn't got anything to offer the world. Also as I said in my introduction, he is a political activist and that his work can be a bit biased. According to me, if you are a producer for documentaries that is watched worldwide by so many people in many different ages you have to be unbiased, show different views and opinions. Even though it is very biased I have to give it to him that he is very good at proving his points and making people agreeing with him. A bad thing about this is also that he makes people believe in things that isn't really completely true. If you take the Italian vacation system for example, Michael says that the Italian gets 8 weeks of paid vacation every year, but is that really true? According to www.lifeinitaly.com and http://knowledge.leglobal.org/ a minimum of 4 weeks paid vacation is given and I really doubt there are many companies that double that time, nothing is said about that giving more weeks is common. Michael also says that there is no homework in Finland and that's also a false statement, in fact they have homework but not as much as in other countries. This is stated in many reliable Swedish newspapers such as svd.se and dn.se. Having this said I don't think you should believe everything said by him before double- checking. To conclude I would said it is a well-produced documentary if you are looking at what he wants to show us, even though it's very biased. I would not really recommend for educational way when you are learning about politics in the United States of America or Europe because of the way Michael only shows one side and sometimes he also hides the entire truth. But when you are learning about criticism of sources it's very useful. So I will rate the movie 6 out of 10. Thanks for reading!

This review will contain spoilers.Where to invade next was released in 2015 in Canada and United States of America and three months later they released it for the rest of the world. Michael Moore who wrote and directed this movie is back with another funny documentary that will for sure make you laugh but also show you the differences between USA and some other countries.This documentary is produced by Michael Moore, he's traveling around the world to conquer the best ideas and concepts and bring them back to the US. He does this in order to make a better society in the US. In the film he is traveling to places such as Italy, France, Tunisia, Slovenia, Portugal and Norway to find out if the working conditions, school lunches, gender equality etc.. are better there and why it's better. But this movie is extremely misleading if you believe that just because one school have nice food doesn't mean the entire country has the same quality. It's simply impossible. Likewise, the statement that Germany have so good working condition can't be confirmed unless other sources can back it up. He portrays Europe as if we don't have any flaws at all and that's totally wrong, every country has their flaws but he doesn't show the entire picture and that makes the film really unreliable. So what can we call it? A documentary or propaganda?But, I really loved the film because of the humor in it but also that it's so serious. Everybody should see the movie and judge it for themselves. I'm sure you will learn something fun, but also a lot of interesting facts you didn't knew about those countries earlier. I guess Michael Moore also has a hidden reason behind this movie. He wants us to discuss and talk to each other about it and the differences between the countries.I highly recommend this movie.
