Go Further

This movie was pretty good ... I have a few pointers for those who have not watched it yet. It's probably a good idea to keep children out of the room when watching this.. there are some scenes with drugs and nudity .. but the movie is overall very very funny... a little cheesy in parts tho. Watch out for the hippie song!. Especially if you are watching this in a classroom as I did. It's just so hard not to laugh.. because they are SUCH HIPPIES ! overall, this film had some very interesting points. it is definitely an eye-opener for those who just don't see nature in it's beauty, it's entirety. oh well .. all i can say is that I enjoyed this movie very much .. probably just because it has Woody in it.. and don't we all love woody ??

Caught this at the Chicago film festival and loved it so much that I saw it twice. This journal about an enlightening road trip has so many wonderful moments that even if you don't agree with its principles, you will still have a good time. I discovered some life-changing tips, which hardly even happens at the movies. But don't go for the message, go for the good time. Great musical interludes too!

I'm all for the promotion of healthy organic living and seeking out sustainable alternatives, however I found this flick to be totally clichéd.

Woody gathers together a band of merry makers including a raw food chef, yoga teacher and a lawyer for activists and embarks on a bike riding/biofuelled bus trip down the coast. None of his team was really introduced properly, or seemed to have anything relevant to say, and I found myself cringing at the "hippie" stereotypes -- sensationalist fear mongering and pot smoking in the back seat of the bus (I mean, I'm no doctor, but occasionally enjoying baked food isn't going to do something horrid to your pancreas, as suggested by the raw food chef - and not all diary contains blood and pus - the USA is one of a few countries that has approved the use of bovine growth hormone)

There are a myriad of intelligent and scientific arguments for switching to an organic lifestyle, none of which were presented in this film, which instead focused on the "vibe" with shots of the gang holding hands, dancing naked on the beach, completing a yogic sun salutation and the odd piece of footage of a clear cut forest or extinct animal.

Included in the party is some random guy that seems to be shocked by the revelation that twinkies are not a health food, and makes pathetic attempts at humour (say no to corn dogs... etc).

If you're after something that has something political to say, is intelligent, well researched AND entertaining - GO TO ANOTHER DOCO.

I suggest The Fog of War, The Corporation or Supersize Me instead :)

This movie is a breath of fresh air. It is intelligent and through-provoking as well as fun to watch with several humorous scenes and remarks. When watching it you feel like one of the guys or you at least long to "Get on the bus!" with them. It's not everyday when you get to see a movie that is like this... it's about the seriousness of reality and it packs a punch for those who are unaware of the detrimental state... but it doesn't leave one with a hopeless feeling. It's inspiring. It needs to be seen and shared with everyone... family and friends. Don't miss out on this one. Take a chance on a new compassionate perspective for our future. You'll be glad you saw it.

I watched this one for 30 minutes trying to figure out if it was a spoof or an honest attempt at some message. It wasn't funny. The message was chaotic. I'm still not sure.

The green message was destroyed by the inane comments from drug addicts, imbeciles, etc.

I really thought Woody was acting out some bizarre green character but no, it seems these were his honest feelings. An attempt at parody really wouldn't enroll the support of sheepish college crowds would it??? What a mess. I suddenly feel like nice steak raised by those evil farmers financed by the evil rich people.
