State of Bacon (2014)

Best movie of this year hands down!

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I had the opportunity to watch State of Bacon. I highly recommend this Mockumentary and you can see for yourself it is highly entertaining. I thorough enjoyed it and I believe Jason Cook and Team did an excellent job in the making of State of Bacon. The Visuals, Graphic Design and even the music was excellent. I loved the Bacon Rap Song and I enjoyed the "Oh Beautiful Bacon" Song in the tune of "Oh Beautiful America". One of my favourite Highlights amongst others were the Icelanders whom I found absolutely amusing.One thing I have learnt is what actually happens at the Iowa Bacon Festival held annually. It is absolutely amazing how much bacon is cooked and consumed during the festival. It is believed tickets are sold out fast. I do not want to reveal too much but I want to give credit to David Anthony Higgins as the Bacon Dreamer, Anderson Cooper, the Icelanders, the 2 kids as journalists as well as Hacksaw Jim Duggan

Whether you're familiar with Iowa's Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival or not, "State of Bacon" gives a hilarious, inside look at the planning and execution of one of the most delicious festivals in the history of food festivals.I'll be honest - going into this movie I wasn't sure what to expect. I mean, it was obvious bacon would play a prominent role (and quite frankly, that was enough to get me to the theater), but I was blown away by the hilarity that ensued. The Bacon Board (who are the real life creators of Bacon Fest and are pretty much the stars of the film)made a lasting impression. You can tell they are a big group of goof balls, with senses of jocularity that might be slightly more mature than frat-humor. Other high-lights of the film include Hacksaw Jim Dugan scolding animal activists, some drunken campers, and a couple of snarky grade schoolers with a passion for pork.Overall, it just works - especially if you're able to enjoy a cold brew and some hot bacon while viewing.

Why do you even need to read this review? It's Bacon! It gets a 9 out of 10 because it was only 93 minutes long. I expected at least 100 minutes of Bacon.The movie takes place in Des Moines, the most bacon-loving city in America, and tells the tale of the Iowa Bacon Board and the world famous Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival. To the outsider it may seem easy to throw a bacon party for more than 12,000 people, but this movie proves that's not even close to true.It takes many hours of hard work, sweat and bacon grease to pull off this pork party, and State of Bacon highlights every sizzling detail. A must watch it you love: Bacon, Iowa, and/or America.

The State of Bacon movie was an excellent film that captured what The Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival is all about that is currently held in Des Moines, Iowa. Right off the bat the movie had you laughing from start to finish. This movie should not stay local. This movie should be played in theaters across the US for everyone to enjoy and hopefully their city will be graced with the presence of The Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival like Madison, WI will this Fall. Jason Cook, the director, did a superior job. There's a reason the Festival sells out in minutes and this movie is the proof on what you're missing out on!
