To show what the USA can learn from rest of the world, director Michael Moore playfully visits various nations in Europe and Africa as a one-man "invader" to take their ideas and practices for America.

| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganMoore cherry-picks good news from his travels, which is only to be expected. But the extent to which he ignores contradictory facts is astonishing. |
| RogerEbert.comGodfrey CheshireIn my view, it’s one of the most genuinely, and valuably, patriotic films any American has ever made. |
| MediaMikesMichael A. SmithFans of Moore will appreciate his ideas behind the film. Those who aren't probably won't. To them I suggest moving to Germany, where your local doctor can write you a prescription for a three-week stay at a posh spa to relieve the tension. |
| Daily Journal (Kankakee, IL)Pamela PowellThrough humor and intellect, Moore conveys to his viewers that we have the answers, let's remember the questions so that we can address those issues appropriately. Be warned: you're going to laugh while you learn! |

| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordMoore's excused himself from basic journalistic rigor by declaring he's only interested in 'picking flowers not weeds.' |
| Seven DaysRick KisonakA playful, subtly patriotic work from our greatest cinematic gadfly. His goal isn't to criticize this country but to point out that others have solved problems we're still grappling with, and to suggest we take a hint. What a foreign concept. |
| Cincinnati CityBeattt stern-enziMichael Moore unabashedly embraces a rather old warrior trope as the means of cobbling together elements from around the world that he believes would actually make our nation more than better. |
