Bottom line: The party's over. There's no such thing as a free lunch. America itself may be a bubble.

If more people had watched this film, they might still have their houses.

| Mar 9, 2011

Well made, informative and genuinely terrifying documentary, in which the use of humour can't quite diminish the spectre of doom and gloom.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 14, 2010

Think of this important documentary as Economics 101, a primer on how America and Americans spend, and what hardships the future holds for us unless we change the pattern and our habits quickly.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jun 27, 2009

For a film starring the national debt, this is a good one. The expected tedious numerical research is accompanied by excellent graphics and archival footage that bring it alive. Is anyone listening?

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 23, 2009

Practically begs audiences to declaim it essential viewing, rather than quietly convincing us

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 22, 2009

I.O.U.S.A manages to keep this dense, dry information dynamic enough to be interesting and terrifying enough to be important.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 17, 2008

If you believe the terrifying documentary I.O.U.S.A., America is headed for a financial crisis of monumental proportions - and apparently, we are probably too late to keep it from happening.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 7, 2008

Its aim is to raise awareness of an impending financial disaster if America continues acting fiscally and morally irresponsible.

| Original Score: B+ | Nov 20, 2008

[A] timely documentary...There is a sense of urgency that propels Creadon's cautionary narrative as an alarming wake-up call to financial discipline.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 20, 2008

Creadon avoids turning his film into a partisan slugfest, instead opting to focus on how our country as a whole must come together.

| Original Score: 68/100 | Nov 17, 2008

This solid doc reminds us how unsustainable the current American economy is.

| Original Score: 3/6 | Nov 14, 2008

A film with an urgent message that uses the medium to its advantage.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 14, 2008

Unexpectedly entertaining, given that it's about dodgy accounting on an epic scale, the film predicts an economic cold shower that is about to douse America's prospects, thanks to its ever-expanding national debt.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 14, 2008

This movie is a scary, exhilarating blast of atheist common sense.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 14, 2008

Patrick Creadon's film is a lucid history lesson in the failures of successive Republican presidents to put a stopper in the country's leaking fiscal hole.

| Nov 14, 2008

Chastening, compelling.
