I love this movie so much

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

This is the stupidest "documentary" I've ever seen. How exactly do interviews with 3 year old kids and long montages of said kids running around contribute to a rational discussion of the GMO debate? He at no point presents any useful information one way or the other. All he does is interview non-experts who provide their opinions on the matter - opinions that are not necessarily based on any facts. Only one scientific study was presented, from a paper that was later retracted due to widespread criticism from the community. The director indicates that all of the scientists who criticised the paper were somehow linked with the biotech industry, but this would not be enough to force the journal to retract the paper. There had to have been enough independent critics for the journal to have taken it seriously. If you look up Prof Seralini, he is a highly controversial figure in the scientific community. Why were no other scientists interviewed? Could it be that the director only wanted to interview people who supported his point of view?This is basically just a bunch of ignorant, ill-informed, anti-science scaremongering and it makes me disgusted to think that there might be people out there who actually think this is a valid presentation of the GMO debate.

Some Possible Spoilers Ahead. This may be the most important documentary of the century, and every citizen of the world should watch it.Reviewers who say this film spews "propaganda" are obviously hired by (or personally invested in) the biotech industry--either that, or they are sadly ignorant to the multi-million-dollar effort of companies like Monsanto to use their own propaganda to make GMOs seem normal, even invisible or unknown to Americans, despite their lack of peer-reviewed or longitudinal studies, let alone their absence of tests on humans. The admirable aspect of this documentary is that Seifert begins his investigation into GMOs with open-minded questions designed to learn the truth because he admits that he knows nothing about the subject. This is why he interviews people with contrary views and even seeks the rationale behind why GMOs are used. This approach hardly identifies a man on a mission to discover only one conclusion--one that, incidentally, would have to make him admit that he's feeding his children harmful foods. Any parent would prefer to learn that his family's food is safe.Actually, we see Seifert feed his kids GMOs as he struggles with his lack of knowledge, not wanting to deprive his children of the pleasure of ice cream or Halloween candy, for example, until he knows more information. As his research progresses and his knowledge base grows, though, he becomes increasingly uncomfortable with the POSSIBLE health risks and KNOWN environmental and economic impacts of GMOs. In the end, his film suggests that we temporarily use the precautionary principle in science, which--in this case--is that we not proceed with an altered organism, food product, or edible chemical UNTIL we know its effects. Seifert suggests that we properly study GMOs and label them in food so that consumers can make choices. This is prudent and reasonable, not fanatical.The study on the link between GMOs and cancer is alarming, and that Monsanto refused to speak to Seifert at all about GMOs implies that it isn't proud of its product and that it may have something to hide. Monsanto's silence is deafening, and the revolving doors and economic interests belied by the film are huge, revealing the biotech industry's lack of credibility for providing trustworthy information about its seeds and pesticides. OMG GMO! does a great job of letting the facts present the truth on their own. This film is disturbing and powerful, and I highly recommend it.P.S. Another reviewer on here mocks when Seifert says that the GMO-laden food is making his kids violent, but um, that moment in the film was a joke. The reviewer seems to have missed the humor.

** Being a documentary, I don't think "spoilers" really apply, this is really just talking about the first few "chapters". ** The first issue brought up is regarding Monsanto seeds, which is a very legitimate complaint - but it's a complaint about the wrong thing. The business around Monsanto seeds is that they are sterile; meaning you have to re-purchase a crop on an annual basis. There is no discussion about whether this seed is superior or inferior, just that it's "bad", "expensive" and "traps farmers".Then they go into a grocery store, and get outraged that some of the pre-packaged foods are *possibly* sourced from GMO ingredients. I turned this awful piece of trash off soon after this - the fatal blow to my sanity was when; while talking to another parent about whether she is concerned about GMOs; her two <5 year-old kids were both grabbing for a piece of icing-topped cake, and the author says "it's making them violent"...? The reality is that humans have been modifying food for as long as agriculture has existed. For example, wheat is not a naturally occurring plant - it's a grass with microscopic seeds. Thru selective breeding, humans have turned this inedible plant into a global food staple. GMO is what is successfully feeding the world.*** Look at the other reviews on this page. The three 10-Star reviews were written by people with ONE review in their library. The two that gave it 1-Star have many diverse reviews in their logs. Who do you believe is giving you an honest answer?

The concerning aspect of genetically modified organisms in food is examined in this surprisingly sweet documentary. Pesticides, herbicides and frankenfoods are unpleasant subjects, but this film softens the blow of bad news about what we eat by using the narrative thread of a father out to find answers about what's in the food he feeds his kids. It was news to me that countries as non-citizen-loving as Russia and China require labeling on GMO food products, while the US does not. With anti-Monsanto marches happening around the country, this film provides a good capsule of information about the GMO issue. The dry science is offset by a range of easy-on-the-eye locations such as Haiti, Norway and France.
