Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Jemima It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Ersbel Oraph nice. but way too slow and long. cute animations, but are they really needed? 30-35 minutes at best. and they don't forget to do the bernie fallacy: look at europe! so, a nice idea backed up by lies and populism, the exact same problem with the current system.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

zaknaud The very real problem that faces our nation in more ways than one does happen to be our taxes and how we as a nation tax ourselves. We are very closed to the idea that we as a country have any power at all to effect change in a real way that is significant in regards to our nations tax policy or code. This is a long and boring subject and unfortunately this is also a bit of a boring movie as well but still an important one. with the lack of public knowledge of such a subject it is important to really educate ourselves and each other on not only what the tax code is but why it is and how it works. I will admit that the movie is actually a little hard to grasp but it really taught me what the tax code is and where it actually comes form.

dcohen-626-265293 I have to wonder that the three (counting mine) reviews currently on IMDb are all excellent, while the ratings are so low. Did the people giving rankings actually view the movie? Did they automatically assume that because a (fill-in the blank)-wing person was one of the commentators that the film was automatically to be dismissed. The beauty of this film - apart from the fact that it is well-done, filled with crucial information, creative and funny at times - is that it presents a common theme among people of different political persuasions; something we can all get behind: the grotesquely complex tax code is due to thousands of special tax breaks. The tax code is unfair, intimidating and out-of-date. Personally, I'm glad there is an issue which so many people can get behind. Now, if we just tried to learn more about it - and this film helps - we could, as one commentator said, "Force the hand of the lawmakers". As another commentator said - if we don't pay attention, then the wrong people will, and they'll (they are) make out like "bandits". There really are a few basic principles one can learn that will greatly raise one's level of awareness. A good companion book is one written by one of the commentators, John O. Fox - If Americans Really Understood the Income Tax: Our Most Expensive Ignorance. Very readable, even for someone like me with no background in the area. I learned a great deal and feel much more capable of entering the conversation about tax reform now.

calcio82000 I had the chance to see this documentary and came away very impressed. The topic of tax reform is covered with skill and doesn't lean to one side or other of the debate, but rather lets experts propose solutions to what it considered a unanimously messy problem. For the most part, the film takes a heady subject and explains in a way that is informative, and at times even amusing. There is an allegorical usage of B-movie monster film (albeit a little tongue-in-cheek) to push forward the idea that we have created the thing (tax code) that will ultimately destroy us! The information is presented in a linear and understandable fashion that both tells how the country found itself in its current predicament and how it can potentially solve the problem. On the negative side, the film spends a bit too much time showing cutesy animations and found footage, but given the wordy nature of the subject matter, I can understand the choice to use this filler to break up the headiness of the film. The interviewees include Noam Chomsky, Steve Forbes, Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul as well as a slew of others, each with an opinion on the the issue. If you are a fan of smart films that push agenda to the side in favor of raising awareness, the An Inconvenient Tax may be just the ticket!
