Director: Michael Moore • US

What has lured Michael Moore, the documentary genre’s most entertaining rabble-rouser, back to feature films after a six-year hiatus? Only the future of his country, naturally.  Where to Invade Next is an expansive, rib-tickling, and subversive comedy in which Moore, playing the role of “invader,” visits a host of nations to learn how the U.S. could improve its own prospects.

The creator of Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine is back with this hilarious and eye-opening call to arms.  Where to Invade Next shows the solutions to America’s most entrenched problems already exist in the world, he says—they’re just waiting to be co-opted.
