    It's a fun watch

    Sad to see the typical, racist, modern narrative, start and get played out, but it's not a bad film.

    The film makers picked white, affluent kids and black, poor kids to make their point, which is actually a very 2007ish concept that brings us to today.

    Something more original and interesting might have included hispanic, poor kids vs asian rich kids.

    The Evolution of a High-Achievement Self

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Similar to the "7 Up" documentary series, which follows subjects from childhood into adulthood. "Most Likely To Succeed" follows several high-schoolers through college, early career, key relationships, and into early adulthood. At times, fate seems to diverge along class (and also racial) lines among the subjects. It's also quite fascinating to witness the evolution of their personalities, as their experiences shape their view of themselves, their upbringing, privilege, hardship, and overarching life trajectory. There are some very heart-warming and inspiring moments, and is a great case study in psycho-social development.

    A walk through in career journeys of few chosen high school students

    This movie is an assorted real life footage of journey of students from high school who seemed to be 'most likely to succeed'. It's interesting to see each one of their paths and where life led them. It can be nice watch for someone who likes to study human behavior and eventuality of possibilities in one's life. Also, it can be a good reference for young students to learn and better prepare for their future. Circumstances can not stop determined minds!

    Wholesome Documentary

    I don't know how to review a documentary, but I'll tell you what I had a good time watching this. I haven't seen a good documentary that didn't have heavy political interjections in a LONGG time. So this was good sweet refreshing fun. It was wildly interesting to see normal peoples lives over the span of ten years. Very cool, very thought provoking, very eye opening and humbling as well. I would recommend this documentary to any and all.
