Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that Where to Invade Next is a Michael Moore documentary in which the famously controversial filmmaker "invades" various countries to "steal" good ideas for the United States -- specifically services geared to help ordinary citizens (more paid vacation, better food in schools, less homework, prisoner rehabilitation, sex education, etc.). There's occasional strong language (a few uses of "f--k," etc.), mentions of mass murder, and brief violent images: police beatings, prisoners being humiliated, riots, and protests. Viewers see brief, non-sexual male and female full-frontal nudity (in a health spa setting), and a man's naked bottom is shown. There are references to sex acts, sex education, STDs, teen pregnancy, and abortion, as well as brief images of people using drugs. Despite the sometimes-strong material, high school teens could get a lot out of this (although anyone not on board with Moore's lefty politics will want to beware).

Sexual Content

Brief non-sexual full-frontal nudity, male and female, in a health spa. Male prisoner's naked bottom shown. Brief shot of a poster of a topless woman. Kissing, references to sex. Oral sex reference. References to teen pregnancies, STDs.

Violence

Brief images of American police violence and disturbing prison violence (i.e. beatings and humiliation). Brief images of the Ferguson riots. References to a mass murderer in Norway. Images of protests and revolutions.

Language

A few uses of "f--k," plus "ass," "s--t," "motherf----r," "penis," "scum."

Social Behavior

Moore and his politics can be controversial, but the movie explores many intriguing issues and ideas, including curiosity, acceptance (especially for other religions, ideas, cultures, sexes, etc.), and sharing. Argues that people should take care of one another, with everyone benefiting in the long run.

Consumerism

Moore prominently drinks a Coca-Cola. Whopper and Facebook are mentioned.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Brief montage of people using various drugs (pot smoking, etc.).
