its semi-interesting 'Freakonomics' manages to cover more of the minimal issues having to do with casuality and incentives stuff like parenting, names, education are covered briefly if not perfectly Im pretty sure the book itself hits all the right notes but viewers can get an idea might strike a few nerves with most touching upon several topics

Despite its confusing narrative, it still contained much of the important parts of the book that still resonate. It was good. It was on Amazon.

The method of using incentive-based thinking to explain human nature is quite interesting. The multiple segments kept the documentary entertaining and introduced various applications of this method. The different directors and styles used in each segment also made it easier to understand the topic as each one was drastically different from the other. Some of the segment were easier to understand than the others. Although some topics discussed were interesting and relatable, the information was not explained properly. At certain moments during the film, the audience may feel that the directors are throwing around random numbers. The directors needed to do a better job in explaining how the data pertains to the topic. The lack of explanation also makes the documentary feel rushed. Overall however, the documentary Freakonomics was a very thought-provoking piece of work and presents a method of explaining human nature that has sparked my interest enough to go read the book.

Freakonomics asks us to think outside the box when considering causal relationships in social phenomena, using several case studies each presented as a different segment. It feels more like a short season of a 온라인카지노추천 series strung into a movie. And like the podcast, is a little overproduced. It presents a few economic concepts in a fun manner, and is a good introduction to these topics for a general audience.

A few segments were eye-opening and almost life-changing, but some parts were filled with fairly boring and useless information (the sumo wrestler segment).

it's nice to put a face and voice to this beautiful book.

Interesting ideas are presented but not enough time is spent on each idea for it to be a fully fleshed out idea. In addition, it kept referencing the data but in most of the shorts, the data wasn't presented just the conclusions. However, there was an interesting correlation between lowered crime rates and abortion. I'm sure the book provides more detail and insight.

Disappointed in "Freakonomics" as it didn't demonstrate useful knowledge for a viewer to take and apply to real-life scenarios and instead discusses a few theories that lack the statistical explanation to back its claims.

Better stick only to the book.

It was inevitable to expect any thing but a lack of consistency in a documentary made by so many different names with significantly different styles. And as such, some segments are good, some are not so much. Freakonomics is an enjoyable ride and that's about it.

Seperate documentary segments made into a movie. Some were interesting, some were boring. The teenage boy in the last segment was so dumb I wanted to shake him.

I thought that it was a really interesting movie tackling patterns that most people overlook.

Could have been so much better, but somehow the magic of the book was lost in this clunky filmumentary. Still interesting for geeks but less so for the average Joe.

A beautiful example of how to confuse correlation with causation by two tendentious authors. Only the unenlightened will be fooled by this stuff. Though it is fun to watch.

Understand the real incentives and you will know how people will react!

I enjoyed the presentation of some segments better than others, but overall, the information was interesting. I just wish more of the book was explored and it went it a little deeper.

I was able to recommended this film to my mom and dad.. a rarity

Two fun, fascinating documentaries, one dark, thought-provoking one, and some great interviews with the coolest economists ever. Unfortunately, there's also a dud documentary in there, which focuses more on fancy graphics than actual analysis of a very controversial topic. In general, though, a great supplement to the book.

Interesting. Correlations and incentives; false and misunderstood.

One of the best books I've ever read and easily one of the most disappointing movies. There were better segments of the book that should've made the movie. Overall poor choices for segments and slow pacing really make this a take it or leave it companion to a must-read book.
