Based on the documentary that follows Michael Moore, an ambitious and intelligent director, who through this documentary, wanders many of European nations and Africa, in order to see how they think, their educational system, and idea about the US, as he compares between countries in all fields.
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.
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 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.
