April 24, 2006Props to whomever wrote the summary for this and made it sound 100 times more interesting than it actually was. I have never seen pacing issues this bad in a documentary in my life, and the "payoffs" are horrible. Hope you like a ton of filler.

An issues-based doc with a sense of humor. It's a bit flimsy, but you have to hand it to these guys: They're con artists with convictions. full review

Edward Havens, FilmJerk.com
Gives hope to those who believe one or two people can affect change in the world, and is one of the most enjoyable and satisfying works of non-fictional cinema this year. full review
