Review of How to Cook Your Life (2007) by Chris S — 22 Feb 2011

Whereas I don't agree with everything in this movie, I loved watching it. And the food looked delicious. It's a nice change in nutritional documentaries; instead of highlighting the bad like Food inc, Supersize Me, Botany of Desire, etc, this one highlights the good in food. And Edward Brown just finds the little details of life so enjoyable, that you can't help but like him- especially watching his attempt to open prepackaged cheese.

But like I said, I don't agree with everyone. The scavenger, for example, who boasts about saving upwards of $800 a month because she dumpster dives and pulls fruit off of private trees was not something I would advertise, and I don't feel it belonged in this movie.
