The Game Changers

The movie could have used a more thorough, gram-for-gram comparison of plant-based and animal proteins. No matter, there's much fine food for thought.

Marshaling scientific data and athletic testimonials that strongly suggests carrots are better than carne if you want to up your energy.

If a few more guys start eating their greens as a result, this blunt but belief-fueled film will have done its job.

A thorough and well-assembled piece of dietary evangelism.

It deals a lot of in partial facts and incomplete facts.

It's well targeted, lean and muscular.

Some cherry picking, but overall, a compelling flood of arguments for a more plant-based diet for athletes and everybody else.

"The Game Changers" and "Super Size Me 2" are probably the two best and most important movies about food that you will see this year.

The film's appeal to vanity and men's virility is problematic. Better to concentrate more on how plant-based diets could save the planet.

It's short, at about 80 or so minutes, full of energetic music and bodybuilding/action montages and juvenile penis discussions, and against those odds it's still very, very dull.
