3.5/5
"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."  PopMatters  Bill Gibron

7/10
"In I.O.U.S.A. explains in clear and compelling terms fiscal problems that have been in motion for decades."  PopMatters  Cynthia Fuchs

B+
"Its aim is to raise awareness of an impending financial disaster if America continues acting fiscally and morally irresponsible."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

3/4
"[A] timely documentary...There is a sense of urgency that propels Creadon's cautionary narrative as an alarming wake-up call to financial discipline."  Movie Eye  Frank Ochieng

B
"A solid informational piece on a fiscal reality than can really be called a national emergency."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

68/100
"Creadon avoids turning his film into a partisan slugfest, instead opting to focus on how our country as a whole must come together."  Film and Felt  Gabe Leibowitz

A
"as essential viewing as any common sense advice you've received from parents/grandparents about living within your means"  Old School Reviews  John A. Nesbit

4/5
"I.O.U.S.A manages to keep this dense, dry information dynamic enough to be interesting and terrifying enough to be important."  Cinerina  Karina Montgomery

2/4
"Practically begs audiences to declaim it essential viewing, rather than quietly convincing us"  Movie Habit  Marty Mapes

B+
"this movie makes a devastating case for the consequence of our current "rob Peter to pay Paul" budgetary shell game."  Beliefnet  Nell Minow

B
"It makes a very good effort at trying to cover this enormous, important, complex issue of the national debt in less than an hour and a half."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

7/10
"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?"  Monsters and Critics  Ron Wilkinson

4/5
"Fending off the global repo man"  JWR  S. James Wegg
