Poorly written and filmed. Visuals don't always match the narration and very few buildings are seen from the inside, mostly just outside and street shots.

Comment:
The couple engaging on the 100 mile diet (in Vancouver, BC) take turns writing chapters that progress monthly. A bit flowery at times.
It's interesting seeing their two points of view and it gets very personal, right into relationship issues.
This is not a how to guide. Rather, it is a personal account of their adventure and thoughts and progress.
A few recipes are provided at the beginning of chapters.The couple engaging on the 100 mile diet (in Vancouver, BC) take turns writing chapters that progress monthly. A bit flowery at times.

Interesting and fun to watch. Felt odd to see all those old games I used to play.
Generally speaking this can be for most ages, however, there is a brief moment in the middle of the film where there are some old playgirl layouts which some parents may feel inappropriate for their children to see.Interesting and fun to watch. Felt odd to see all those old games I used to play.

I enjoyed watching this documentary. Unlike Nadian (review May8/2010), I actually enjoyed the relationship complications (as it pertained to the No Impact lifestyle) and Michelle's difficulty to acclimatise in the beginning. I loved the juxtaposition of Colin and Michelle. I believe this made for a stronger experiment and creates a better argument than if the couple were both keeners for this project. The general public gets to see a reluctant participant being dragged along and even converted! Watching two converts struggle through and come out the other end is just not as convincing.
On the other hand, this documentary, while entertaining and interesting, could have been done better.
I would have liked to know a bit more about how they did as a family and how this all affected their little girl a bit more. I don't mean more screen time for the girl, but more explanations.
I would prefer more of the details and reflections to be shown. What were all the measures taken, how did they *all* turn out, etc. The film only superficially delves into certain areas. We see the family enjoying their first bathtub-clothes-washing event, but did that last? How effective was it? Did it stay fun or become tedious?
And in the end it was unclear as to what practices were going to be continued and what weren't.
At least the extra features on the DVD could have dealt with more details if the film couldn't! Or are we supposed to wait for the book?I enjoyed watching this documentary.

This *long* series is over dramatised, very repetitive, and focuses a lot more on the negative and controversy than necessary.
Still, I watched it to the end. I wanted to see what happened even if the series lacked an accurate story line.
There is really tons of room for improvement. Ex, we learn that the first LEED Platinum building in Kansas is in Greensburg and while they stress over the difficulty of achieving LEED Platinum, they never explain the how! In the end we are told they achieved 3 points above the necessary point value of LEED Platinum... but all this is so shallow and superficial. I want to know more! It's a great achievement.... but it's so undervalued in the series by not explaining what it takes; moaning and groaning about whether or not they will make it or can make it is just annoying to listen to... give the facts!
There is just so much left out o this series. I think it's aimed at a very general audience.This *long* series is over dramatised, very repetitive, and focuses a lot more on the negative and controversy than necessary.

I loved this Dr. Seuss book when I was a child and so did my boy. It's such a fun and silly book full of imagination!
