Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

It's a promotional movie, nothing objective in it, no questions are being asked, nobody sets back to analyze anything.He's picking people from the crowd and bullies them into doing what he says or face shame from the other in the room that drank too much Kool-Aid.I'm surprised of the rating of this movie here.

Don't trust the pointless, academic negativity you see here. Directed by Joe Berlinger of critical darling "Paradise Lost," "TONY ROBBINS: I AM NOT YOUR GURU" is a powerful piece of vérité about a most unconventional, controversial man. The naïve negative reviews you see here for this film are simply bad because the reviewers are reviewing the "man," and not the film. There are pointless accusations that Robbins believes he is "cool," because he uses foul language. What, on earth, would that simplistic point, an inference, no less, mean in a documentary? Maybe he should have created a less complex portrait by cleaning up his language for the first- graders who saw this by accident. There are pointless slams about his lack of psychological education, when that entire industry—has anyone seen the mental gymnastics it took to explain the latest, wildly wrong- headed DSM by a psychiatric and psychological community who have expressed embarrassment about the discipline's lack of direction—and, again, this has nothing to do with the film. Neither does denying that some individual could experience cathartic change from the oddness of the Robbins event put under a microscope in this film—from its planners and facilitators to the bizarrely American come-from-nothing story of Robbins himself, a man who knows the significant abuse many of his followers have come to share (we are talking genuine abuse: murders; rapes; abandonment—not tiny things). The film, in a sense, poses a question can someone articulate, a genuine communicator, who has suffered and risen above enormous pain—is someone like that, even when that individual becomes a cottage industry onto himself—better than an academic who has only sat outside true pain and does his or her best to understand what that other, the patient who has endured the unspeakable, has gone through? For a strong portrait of a uniquely individual American, see it; if you're a die-hard skeptic—I double welcome you. But grade the film—not the man or what you believe is possible.

This documentary films a six day event in which Tony Robbins works with attendees to change their life. Presumably, everyone has some different area they want to work on. Several times throughout the film, we see computer screens or paper lists mapping out the day. What I would have been most interested to see is the steps of the process, perhaps following some attendees through each piece. I imagine they felt that that would be giving away his product for free. Instead, we see several "interventions" in which Tony sometimes seems to speak truth, and sometimes tells people to do some confusing things. I wanted to believe that this man understands how we work and can get to the core of all our issues, but this film didn't make me believe that. It didn't disprove him either, just left me less interested in what he has to say. I've enjoyed his podcast appearances much more than what I thought was going to be a look into the inner workings of an effective process.

I'll never know precisely how this documentary/movie/whatever it is, plays out. There was so much profanity within the first few minutes, I sort of lost my desire to watch the rest. A WHOLE lot of F word variations, some S##T variations.. just, too much. I thought he was classier than that so it it surprised me a bit, but over a short time it just got kind of trashy and embarrassing. His audience would cuss too, no doubt brought on by his own cussing. Pretty disappointing really. I expected better. One or two curse words might have been OK, but this was so overdone I exited out and just had to write about it. Also within the short time I watched, Tony managed to talk about masturbation, and got one of the audience members to tell us that she taught her own daughter to tell her estranged father to go F%%K himself. High class I tell ya. I won't ever be tuning in to another one.
