Michael Moore: Who We Should Invade Next

The pinnacle of Smugness, Mike Moore, made a documentary highlighting a bunch of strengths of other countries and how much better these ideas are than how they are done in America. It highlights workplaces, schools, even how we approach our shameful history of slavery. The part that always gets in the way is Moore himself. He's insufferable, self-serving, and always debatably leads people into what he wants. His editing tactics have always come under fire, most notably from Marilyn Manson and the South Park guys who after being interviewed by him and having their words twisted, blew him up on Team America: World Police. I can't stand him, therefore this movie wasn't for me. It should surprise not a single person that other countries are better at a few things than America and watching Moore parade himself around looking like Rosie O'Donnell's homeless, fatter, uglier brother is awful to watch. Bottom Line: 2.3 out of 10. Read about it, don't bother watching it. Synopsis: Sweden has better schools than us because kid's get to do what they want and have no homework, Italy is a better place to work because you get six weeks vacation and don't have to work as hard, Germany is better than us because they teach their children in school about the evils of the Nazi regime and Holocaust, Iceland is better than us because women have more political power and they punish their white collar criminals. There you go, saved you wasting almost two hours.
