      Audience Member This could have been so much better if it had included some more critique of this industry and culture but instead it was superficial, narcissistic, dribble and an hour of my life I won't get back. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

Rated: 3/5 Jan 2, 2011 Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat Make Me Young captures the weird delusional effect anti-aging addiction has.
