Movie: “Maxed Out” about credit and debt

[lniles]

Don’t see it, it’s lame. I saw it at blockbuster and the cover says it’s an inside look at the current state of American credit: how people live maxed out on credit and so on, how it’s affecting the economy. It starts out hinting about people buying houses beyond their means but then turns out the movie is a bunch of tubby hillbillies whining about debt collectors calling when they stop paying their bills. They villianize the credit industry for making money off of those who live in constant debt. They even went as far as saying that a debt collector led someone to commit suicide. Most of the things this movie “enlightens” me with I have one response to: uhhh, DUH!

Totally ridiculous and off-point movie. Any good movie recommendations along this line?

I found “Super Size Me” really enlightening on how bad the fast food industry is for the health of people.

WOW.

Fun With Dick and Jane. It’s a Jim Carrey movie, if you don’t like him I still recommend it there’s some great scenes that will remind you of this housing bubble.

An update of the 1977 comedy, Dick and Jane are living the good life. That is until Dick (Jim Carrey) loses his job shortly after getting a promotion that convinced his wife Jane (Téa Leoni) to quit her job. The money is gone, and the house ends up in foreclosure. Dick decides to turn to a hilarious life of crime to pay the bills with his lovely wife by his side. Then together they decide it’s time to steal back what Former CEO Jack McCallister (Alec Baldwin) had stolen from them.

I’ve never seen Glengary/GlenRoss but heard it’s great. I’ll add it to my queue. Thanks!
