Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Just perfect...

Admirable film.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I don't understand why some people here keep on saying another infomercial. Really? You did not get the point at all? Just because the people in this documentary are authors selling books about health doesn't mean they are promoting their products. Where in the film did they promote it because I want to see.The message is CRYSTAL-CLEAR. CHOOSE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. It's sad that some people fail to see it instead writing a negative review that this documentary gave them BS after 10 minutes. If this film judged the fat people, call them names, and blame their choice of food in an unspeakable terms then I will surely write a negative review. But none of it was delivered in this film. I'm not going to buy a juicer. But after seeing this documentary participated by health experts and medical doctors, I now have a different approach to eating food. I choose healthy lifestyle because I do not want to get sick and pay for high health care costs. It is my choice.

Another reviewer sort of nailed the major issue with Hungry for A Change by saying it was an infomercial. It really is an infomercial. They are trying to sell their book and other documentaries based on the same concept but they're also trying to sell you on a new lifestyle. I truly believe they are trying to get their message out there about how dangerous our food and lifestyle has become. However, Hungry For A Change could have done this in about a half hour. The same three or four people repeat literally the same information over and over and over again. Sometimes I wondered if they weren't just looping the interviews to try and drive home the point. They could have absolutely included more science behind what they were saying or more interesting facts about our food supply. Instead we see a group of people (all who were very, very unhealthy which bodes well for their point) saying the same two or three things over and over. Now that being said, it absolutely did get through to me. There were one or two facts that made me go wow and that is the point of a documentary really. There was also some new information that I had never heard before about ancestral genetics and why our bodies choose to be "fat." That was an interesting take...told three or four times.The "experts" all seem very enthusiastic about what they're talking about. Seeing a tiny bit of their backgrounds and how unhealthy they were definitely makes you pay attention. Even still I would have liked to have seen a little more about their backgrounds. As usual with most health based documentaries they do little to actually tell you HOW to change your lifestyle. Perhaps its because they want you to purchase their book. Well it worked for me enough that I did get their book. It has some great recipes that actually are fairly simple but the rest of the book...as if we didn't hear the same thing enough in the documentary...is the exact same stuff from the movie word for word. I guess repetition gets the point across. Basically the entire concept is eat nothing but natural and it does make sense! Its captivating but perhaps done in a less appealing way. It does try though. 6/10

I'll give it a 6 out of a 10, mainly because the jist of the movie is well intentioned. That being said however, the movie does have it's share of problems. I'd like to reiterate what others have said - it turns into a juicing commercial about halfway through. Juicing may have it's time and place, but as a regular diet it isn't a healthy thing to maintain.My other problem with this move is the lack of data and facts about the "independent studies" they keep talking about. Sure, they present and bad-mouth the manufacturers studies all day long. But the supposed independent studies which counter all the manufacturers studies are talked about, but not presented or shown in any way. Where are they? Because of this, the movie at times feels like a story you hear from your buddy how they heard from so-and-so about this or that.For example, the story about the Pilots being told by the "Pilot Association" that aspartame is to be avoided? Manufactured BS. While I don't doubt that something artificial is most likely bad for you, there hasn't been ANY formal statement to Pilots on the issue of aspartame. As a Pilot, I would know. I have never been told by nor read anything related to the matter. Neither has my wife, who is a Helli Pilot. We both looked at each other when that segment came on and said WTF to each other.Even the so-called "Aspartame Consumer Safety Network" confirms that the FAA may know about it, but hasn't issued any statement about it. Thay also claim that organizations like AOPA and ALPA have been warning Pilots for years. This is also false. They have not and a simple goggle search under those two organization will prove it. Here is a link to the ACSN article I'm talking about: http://www.aspartamesafety.com/Article4.htm Again, overall decent flick meant to open your eyes on the dangers of processed food. It succeeds in this area, however many of the "facts" are presented in that fast-and-loose manner so commonly found online these days.Recommended to watch, trust the jist of it, don't trust the facts presented 100%.

I just saw this movie on Netflix, and I have to agree with the reviewers who have voiced their concern about some of the misinformation present in the film. The agenda of the filmmakers becomes obvious about halfway through, and by the end it does turn into a full blown infomercial for juicing. An activity that has been soundly committed to the nutritional dustbin years ago as questionable at best and quite dangerous at worst.What is ironic is that the interviewees spend much time talking about what is natural and unnatural to put in one's body, then try to convince the unwitting viewer that gulping down glasses of fruit and vegetable juices is natural. Well, it isn't any more natural than eating Twinkies. It results in the same sugar overload delivered by sugary sodas and sweets. Fiber is the natural delivery system of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients found in vegetables and fruits. For example, our bodies are suited to eat an apple or two at a time, not to drink the juice extracted from a dozen or more apples in one sitting.It's too bad, because the film does also provide some good common sense information, though most of that information has already been widely disseminated elsewhere in the past. But since they do include it, and it does provide some contrast to the misinformation, I gave the movie 5 stars. But for someone who is not aware, the movie can be dangerously misleading.
