Pic's condescending attitude toward its subjects won't help its already limited commercial chances. Go to Full Review

Ready, Set, Bag! delivers plenty of warm and fuzzy while giving us a mainline fix of the sort of small-town cheerfulness you might have thought died with the Andy Hardy franchise. Go to Full Review

12/30/2011 I love documentaries about things I never knew that took place & I never knew there was a national bagging competition until now.It's interesting to see the people who will compete, Hear their stories & then get to see them go head to head.If you get a chance Ready, Set, Bag is a documentary I'd definitely recommend checking out See more 10/09/2010 Some of these champion baggers seem socially awkward until you we meet their friends and families and discover how much more adept and confident these folks are than the people around them. Most of us probably dismiss grocery bagging as a skill but really, it's a joy to watch someone do anything with this degree of excellence. See more 08/09/2010 "this is the happiest moment of my life." *2007 national grocery bagging competition champion totally worth seeing. See more 10/23/2008 The best documentaries are those that present a group of "characters" that are just every day, ordinary people, but are so unique that you'd swear they were written by a skilled screenwriter. This is a brilliant little documentary that gives you an inside look at the various competitions for grocery baggers. See more 10/23/2008 Had lots of quirky characters and had a uncomfortable yet funny moments, but was a bit formulaic when it comes to the light-hearted documentary with a big event at the end. Think Spellbound, Wordplay, etc. See more 09/13/2008 Finally a nice 'feel good' movie for the year. Takes behind the scenes for the bagger of the year competition and the dreams See more Read all reviews
