The movie played off more like, what the wife loves, a reality TV show and was far less informative as I had hoped. Entertaining? To a degree, but not the promise I had hoped to see. I get that the experiment was more about if one is able to maintain happiness and live life well in the conditions described, but it still had lead to believe that we'd be seeing something more based on health and welfare.
