“Get Chur Freak On...seriously...
The popular book that highlights statistical economics aberrations is made into a rather nifty informative lil' compact doc that probably won't even bore folks who can't bother to read anything longer than their text messages...”

Do you think it's pretty true to the book? I can't find my copy so I guess this movie will have to do!

I recalled several of the anecdotes from the book... they interview the authors, other experts, insert clever animations etc to liven up the statistical data... and also use different directors to adopt segments to keep the pacing fresh, so one is by Morgan Spurlock for example...another by Eugene Jarecki of "Why We Fight" fame

“Kinda overrated, I thought it would be better. It really has nothing to do with economics.”
“Love the pre-theatrical release movies on Itunes. Keep them coming.”
“To me, this was an aggregation of interesting stories and imagery amidst a backdrop of intellectualized common sense. I write that with no disrespect whatsoever. it was sooo good. It did a fabulous and beautiful job of proving that which I already knew.”
“One of the best documentaries I've seen in a long time. The one about names was my fave.”
“A great group of short films (like mini documentaries) from the book <3”
