Their mistakes are our entertainment.

A dangerous side effect of being a 'true' American.

| Original Score: 4.0 | Dec 29, 2010

It raises big, intriguing questions that rarely, if ever, come up in the hubbub about steroid use in professional athletics, particularly Major League Baseball.

| Original Score: B | Jul 1, 2009

Chris Bell's very personal documentary, tracking how steroid use influenced his body building family's game, health and interpersonal relationships, is neither an apology nor a hard-lined expose about doping.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 26, 2009

If steroids were outlawed, only outlaws would have steroids

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 21, 2009

This is one of the best documentary films of 2008, along with 'Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father.'

| Original Score: A | Jan 29, 2009

Though somewhat repetitive and clunky, Chris Bell's Bigger Stronger Faster deserves credit for presenting a fairly evenhanded examination of steroids & their threat to the integrity of the country's sports industry.

| Original Score: 57/100 | Nov 25, 2008

A matter-of-fact funny and clever in-depth look at steroid use in modern-day America.

Pessoal como Moore (incluindo um momento Roger and Me com Schwarzenegger) e auto-referencial como Spurlock (mas mais honesto), Bell cria um filme que levanta questes realmente relevantes sobre a caa s bruxas relativa ao uso de esterides.

Like many of the best documentaries, [it] doesn't take us exactly where we expect to go.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 13, 2008

Bell's film is in need of an unbiased editor, but his conclusion that the use of steroids is rooted in a poisonous American belief that bigger is inherently better and second best is just first among losers is compelling.

Giving his film real emotional kick are the personal stories of Mad Dog and Stinky, two average guys chasing a media-fed dream that will only result in disappointment.

An an insider, Bell's work here is comprehensive to the point of over-saturation, but it's all so alien and interesting that it doesn't bog down.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 25, 2008

It may or may not change your opinion of how we should treat steroids in America, but it will at least give you greater sympathy for people who use them.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2008

A thoughtful, informative and thoroughly entertaining examination of the role of performance-enhancing drugs in modern life.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 24, 2008

The fault is not in our steroids, but in ourselves.

...goes from poignant to amusing to tiresome...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 4, 2008

The unique point of view -- from a guy who used to take steroids and has two brothers who still do -- is the reason to see this.
