For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
I left out the first part, because it has no relevance and it is not really discussed in the doumentary. But some may be confused that there has been a movement in the Rap/Hip Hop business to go healthy. But all the interviews point to why this is happening. All the good people the music business has lost and obviously for reasons that have to do with eating - in those cases as described - not healthy at all unfortunately.You get quite a few known performers, that are quite succesful or were in the past and they talk about the epiphanies they had. Not always as enticing I can imagine for many to listen to, but still mostly interesting overall. Don't watch it to see music being performed though. Maybe it also can change your mind when it comes to one of the most important parts of our lives ...
This film does an excellent job of describing a growing problem in the urban community through the eyes of influential artists. It's great to see these artists talk passionately about their healthy lifestyles and not just about their money and fame. I'm hopeful that this Feel Rich movement will catch on and inform people of the value of eating healthy and exercising. This doc is a must see for fans of hip hop and pop culture and beyond!
