Eat Wheaties!

This was such a nice story. It's simple, but briskly paced, and was made with a great outlook on life. The main character has his ups and downs, but you don't feel depressed--you just feel like that's how life is, and it gives you an appreciation for what you have. Now you might think that something that sounds so positive would be too straight-laced, but actually there is some sharper humor in there, stuff that wouldn't have been out of place in Napoleon Dynamite. I will recommend this movie to just about anyone.

My 11 year old son and I just watched this film. He doesn't usually watch movies like this, but he was on the edge of his seat, feeling for and cheering for Sid. It's a movie that reminds all of us, especially during a time where connections are significantly influenced by online / social media, that everyone is deserving of kindness and compassion. It's also a reminder to be kind to ourselves by embracing who we are. Eat Wheaties is a brilliantly funny, beautiful, and moving film. A must watch!

It's a movie sent a message that loser is a relatively term. Sid looks like a dump loser and act weird in some way but he wins a lot in his life indeed. It's a story and fake but kinda inspired many of normal people that attitude matters. Funny movie also.

What a great story! Unpretentious, great characters, nice story and funny in a nice way. Sid is great - you just want him to do well.

I would highly recommend this film because it's a great watch and it deserves to be watched!

Tony Hale is in familiar territory playing this character, but it is nice to see him get the chance to play the lead. His Sid Straw is an nice, honest, decent guy who happens to be social media-challenged. His lack of online savvy drives much of this story.

Hale plays awkward, self-unaware characters really well, but he keeps the tone pretty naturalistic in this story, which was a good choice. The apparent absurdity of his situation on Facebook, and the way everyone else reacts provides most of the grist for the conflict here. It's a nice commentary on the superficiality of social media, and how small actions/statements can become magnified beyond any reason.

There's a nice character story arc here, and while not necessarily driven by the character's development (he really hasn't changed that much by the end), it does wrap up in a rather heartwarming, if slightly convenient way.

A good, gentle comedy that delivers well for what it is.
