BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

VortexV Corporations hardly pay any taxes by abuse of international tax laws and there are groups that are protesting this. These are facts that are exceedingly well known, and most agree that we should do something about it.But what? How can we close these tax loopholes? What initiatives and bills are currently trying to fight this problem?That's what I wanted to know. But the documentary doesn't explain it in the slightest. In fact, it doesn't really explain anything. It just shows some experts explaining that it is indeed bad. And shows over 20 interviews with students who say they were inspired by something on Facebook and decided to protest against big corporations. While surely the tax code is to blame.I can honestly say I learned nothing from this documentary.

stormkarsten If by watching this documentary, you were expecting some evidence that the United Sates is 'Not Broke', you will be sorely disappointed.The documentary claims closing tax loopholes can bring in $70 Billion in revenue per year. Nowhere is this paltry increase in revenue compared against the massive structural liabilities the United States faces.U.S. treasury debt is ~$17,300 Billion. U.S. unfunded liabilities are ~$125,415 Billion. Every U.S. person (man, woman, and child) owes about $400,000 each. The United States has a spending problem - not a revenue problem.1 star for accurate reporting of corporate tax loopholes. The rest is drivel, untruths, and unsubstantiated claims.

gavin6942 An exposé on how the government has allowed American corporations to avoid paying taxes and the growing wave of discontent that it has fostered.Another reviewer said this film is too one-sided, and I am afraid I have to agree with them. While I am on the same side of the political fence as the people who made this, I am unclear if the truth was told... and to me, a documentary should tell the truth. We do not need rhetoric, like corporations paying their "fair share". Is there a good reason they pay 0%? This did teach me some interesting things, though, such as about Ugland House. I have heard of the Cayman Islands and about how it is a tax shelter. I was not aware that so many of these businesses utilized the very same location. That just makes it seem even more of a scam.

heyka44 This documentary, while making a good point about economic disparities, was ridiculous. Incredible experts were brought in who made valid points about things such as transfer pricing (which is perfectly legal), but these experts were largely swept under the rug by the directors of the film.The important thing to note about the issue of the "1%" and similar groups is not that we can whine about economic disparities. The movements that did all the complaining have nearly disappeared only a short time out from when they began.The important thing to realize is that these corporations are working within their legal rights to be as profitable as possible. Corporations seek profit. It's inherent in their nature. We can't blame them for that. The problem lies in the laws that allow them to do so, and the documentary did not point that out enough.The solution is to change the laws, not glorify those who are complaining to corporations who work within their legal bounds to achieve their goal of profit production. All this documentary seemed to do was glorify those who are good at complaining, but to the wrong people.
