Rating: 7/10 --
A lighthearted plea to the audience to try to think outside the box when it comes to matters of causality.

Rating: B- --
The film is provocative but also scattershot and not nearly as conclusive as it pretends to be.

Rating: 3/5 --
Levitt and Dubner often talk about the importance of giving incentives to customers. It's not clear if this film gives quite enough of them to those people who've already bought the book.

Daily Telegraph (UK)
Rating: 3/4 --
Freakonomics is, much like the book that spawned it, a breezy entertainment that leaves you with a lot to think about.

Rating: 2/5 --
Merely proves that a batch of bite-sized featurettes does not automatically add up to a satisfying meal.

Product Description:
Inspired by authors Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner wildly popular best-seller FREAKONOMICS: A ROGUE ECONOMIST EXPLORES THE HIDDEN SIDE OF EVERYTHING, this documentary teams such acclaimed filmmakers as Morgan Spurlock (SUPER SIZE ME), Alex Gibney (TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE), and Seth Gordon (THE KING OF KONG: A FISTFUL OF QUARTERS) to look at human behavior from a perspective of incentives and statistics. Conventional wisdom gets caught in the crosshairs when JESUS CAMP co-directors Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady explore how underachieving kids respond when they're rewarded for hard work with greenbacks; Gibney throws open the curtain on sumo wrestling; Spurlock examines how baby names can affect a child's development; and WHY WE FIGHT director Eugene Jarecki offers a troubling hypothesis on why the early-'90s saw some of the lowest crime rates of the latter 20th century.
