All has been fairly quiet on the pestering front for Michael Moore since “Capitalism: A Love Story,” his glum 2009
assessment of the greed-is-good culture that spawned the global financial
crisis. But now this impassioned and unruly provocateur returns to further
dismantle the myth of American supremacy with renewed optimism and sharpened
comic instincts in “Where to Invade Next,” an impishly
entertaining, career-summarizing polemic bent on demonstrating how other
countries around the world — with their happy workers, superior
schools, humane prisons, healthy sexual attitudes and fully empowered women
— are putting U.S. progress to shame. This may be drive-by tourism on a
highly selective, flattering and downright gluttonous scale, but there’s
something undeniably sharp and buoyant about Moore’s globe-trotting,
grass-is-greener approach that compels indulgence and attention. It may not win
over his detractors, who are and remain legion, but with careful
election-season targeting by a shrewd distributor, he might just have his
biggest crowdpleaser since “Fahrenheit 9/11,” at home as well as abroad.
