Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the Norway segment, it is stated that mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik, who was responsible for several terrorist attacks in 2011 that killed 77 Norwegians, was sentenced to a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 21 years in prison. It is also mentioned that 21 years imprisonment is the maximum penalty in Norway, regardless of how many casualties there were. Although this is true, it should be added that Breivik was specifically sentenced to containment. Containment or preventive detention means that although the initial sentence is 21 years, the imprisonment can be extended indefinitely, as long as the convict is considered a danger to society, so in practice this probably means life imprisonment.
- GoofsWhen listing what the French get extra for their tax money besides basic services, on screen text states 4 weeks paid vacation. The French have a minimum of 5 weeks paid vacation and 11 legal holidays a year.
- Quotes
Michael Moore: I am an American. I live in a great country, that was born in genocide and built on the backs of slaves.
- Crazy creditsAt the end of the credits, we see a woman scaling a flagpole and cutting down a Confederate Battle Flag, while we hear a pair of men (presumably some sort of law-enforcement officers) requesting that she stop. Accompanying that scene are the words of Moore's battle cry: "Hammer. Chisel. Down."

Featured review
I gave this movie a 7 (hesitated with 8) because it is a good film. It is funny, entertaining, it shows things that are true. Something that is nice is that it seems also that Moore tries to show as many countries as possible, even countries that some people might feel are "forgetable", etc.
The reason why I do give a lower mark is that it is a film that is really made for a US audience. Having spent a good deal of time in North America I can completely understand why he tries to make it so that the ideas shown and expressed in the film are as "American" or "American born" as possible, but when you're from someplace else, and when you know more about history or such things in general, it seems just a bit annoying that they try to make some ideas that are pretty much universal, or just not American, as American as possible. The ending is also quite cliché, but it just reflects and intensifies the previous comment. it's actually because of the very-patriotic-to-get-republicans-to-listen ending that i decided to give this movie a7 instead of an 8.
for non us viewers I would say that you can just skip the last 15 minutes, but that the rest is great
