I love bodybuilding documentaries though I have no interest in the watching the competitions or reading the magazines so I didn't know who most of these people were but I don't think that matters. It entertained me while I was feeding my baby in the middle of the night and that's pretty much all I can ask for!
Looking back though, it was a bit dull and has no repeat viewing value. The only interesting 'character' was Rich Piana, for his frankness, honesty and controversy. And also because he died from his lifestyle. And also because he looks psychotic. Kai Greene and that Australian guy both had zero charisma and were less interesting to watch. They also came across as a bit desperate & sad with their attempts to break into the acting world and, in the case of Kai, make a graphic novel.
It's definitely a rather bland documentary and nowhere near as good as the excellent Pumping Iron.
