Big high five for 'Science Fair', a documentary on high school kids trying to hit it big by winning the World Science Fair which typically trampolines the victor to heights rarely achieved. The champ will not only gain notoriety, and $75,000, but also a golden ticket to any university. Here we follow some kids from various parts on the world on their quest. It's tied in well as contestants and past winners act as talking heads for a fast moving flick. Hubby thought it could have been edited a bit more precisely, but aside from that there were no complaints. You'll find it hard to root for everyone, and that's the way it should be. Wife: 8.8/Hubby 7.3: Average Final Score: 8.05

Definitely an inspiring academic film for those who are in pursuit of a professional career. I enjoyed the encouragement that it elicited in me, and the added push to fulfill my collegiate and professional goals.

The educational system put in a perspective. A highly enjoyable watch with inspiring young generation of scientists and engineers. Robie's art of hacking life is just pure delight to watch!

GO SEE this wonderful movie! You will love these kids and want to see every one of them succeed! You will enjoy getting to know them, their stories and enough about their projects and theories to know it is over your head and will realize their incredible intelligence, focus and determination! Don't ask your kids if they want to go see it - just take them! All will be entertained and inspired!! I only wish they had made 100 more introducing us to more of these fabulous people!!!!

This was my second favorite documentary from Telluride Mountainfilm this year. If it wasn't for a stunning movie called, "Minding the Gap", it would have been my favorite. It joyously weaves the lives of high schoolers from around the world as they prepare with all of their might for the glory of winning and placing at the world science fair. The brilliant minds provide humor, moments of pride, and an overall hopeful outlook on the future. The theater was full of outright laughter eclipsed by a cheerful standup applause for the film maker and characters on screen. If the world's greatest problems were left to be solved by these young brilliant minds, perhaps it's a world that has no limits. This film will uplift your hearts and minds and anyone with kids should share this movie as staple viewing. Please share this movie at high schools around the world as science indeed can be cool and hip. Let the science fair begin!

A very entertaining documentary that portrays the human element of brilliant youth throughout the world who are aspiring scientifically of improving the world. The film was well-organized, inspirational, and depicted a range of human emotions. It should be shown in our schools and also for our political leaders.

A remarkable documentary that gives us some hope for our future. If more kids became active in the sciences and in finding ways to improve the lives of the public, then I think we could cure a lot of our problems. Here we have the brightest kids all competing for the top prize. They are all smart and all winners. The film is motivating and uplifting. A great movie experience.

Took our 8-year-old girl to the viewing last night. As inspirational for her as it was for us.

FANTASTIC! A privileged peek into the bizarre subculture of top level science fairs. They found the greatest subjects to follow. Full of surprises and humor, nonstop twists, emotions and laughs as you see their trials and triumphs. Highly recommended!

Fantastically moving & fun! We went with a big group of people and stood around afterwards talking about the characters. Definitely made us laugh, and cry. So good! Just see it - you will stop feeling horrible about our country for once, truly.
