Negative Positive
Title: Preachy and derivative, I turned it off
Review: I've been digging a lot of vegetarian documentaries lately, and I though this would be another good one that discusses the virtues of plant based diets from a nutritional angle, but it descended into cheeky, sanctimonious, and trite college campus style fringe vegan social theory rather quickly.I suffered through this coming of age crap because I thought the premise, improving the health of skeptics with a vegetable diet, was interesting. But in the first week of their "experiment," virtually the first thing the subjects did was go to a supermarket and start fawning over all their animal-free, supposedly "vegan" junk food options like Oreos, and the protagonist made no effort to derail this gluttonous senselessness. At this point, I deleted the movie from my Tivo and turned on the Washington Nationals. It was about 10 minutes in. Watch Forks Over Knives instead, or Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead.
Is the review positive or negative?
