"I've been wanting to tell this story for twenty years," says Steve Glew - aka the Pez Outlaw - at the beginning of this documentary.
Aided by his son, Josh, the father and son duo meets a kindred spirit in Slovenia and takes on Pez USA, becoming hilariously like drug dealers with buyers calling them and offering a lot of money for their in-demand products.
But when they meet Gunther of Pez International in Hungary, their business took off - allegedly - and Steve became the arch nemesis of the Prezident of Pez USA. Their cat-and-mouse game only changed when Steve had to decide between his job and his family.
The documentary is well-done, using interviews and re-enactments.
PS: The other hero is their local credit union that gave them their first loan, so that they could go to Europe to buy their first pez dispensers. Whoever that loan officer was, he/she deserves a lot of credit.
