Not Intended for Sympathy..., 24 November 2003
Author: arson83 from Long Island, New York

A lot of people are saying this movie tries to inspire sympathy for the rich - that is not the case.

It is one rich kid interviewing others. The Johnson + Johnson kid interviews the Trump kid, some Luke guy, and a bunch of others who inherited money from grandparents. They will never work a day in their life, unless they want to (one kid makes 50 G a year at his job). But their life isn't totally easy. But this isn't to inspire sympathy.

Overall, I'd say to give this thing a watch. I didn't wanna make this review too long or too dignified like others have done, I'm just saying that it's interesting to watch.

The only flaw is that if you don't catch it from the beginning, you won't know who everyone is because they don't tell you in the middle.

7/10.
