Freakonomics (2010)

This documentary is a collection of vignettes with the various segments written/directed by different people. I haven't read the book, but Gary assures me it's much more competent.

Some portions of it were somewhat diverting, but it never seemed to finish a subject; most felt just halfway explored.  Also, many of the conclusions drawn -- like overly ethnic names can hurt an otherwise decent resume -- were just "duh."

Basically, it felt like a high schooler's research paper on which the teacher would have scribbled comments like "interesting!" "good visual aid!" and "more sources needed" in the margins.
