I appreciate your love for India, but I don't find this documentary cool. I don't think that it is cool to use some poor part of India to treat some bratty kids - and make it into a documentary. The Slumdog effect is being carried too far. I am not denying that India has poor people, but to use them in this way is very condescending. Western society has to stop doing this. This is where I love China - sure they have "in your face" poverty too, but nobody can say a word about that. India being a democratic and a tolerant society is a sitting duck ready to be raped by condescending rich westerners for their own selfish reasons. I don't know how the Indian govt. even allows such pathetic ideas! I am very angry! I appreciate what you wanted to do with the spoiled kids and even your help to the poor, but IT IS NOT COOL TO STRIP INDIA NAKED EVERY TIME WESTERNERS WANT TO REMIND THEMSELVES OF THEIR MATERIAL EXCESS!

I am a school social worker and it is amazing the different levels of entitlement and how much children have today. I am interested in where I can view the video.

We watched it last night, and it took us over 3 hours, as we had to keep pressing pause - and have multiple discussions about it (and then look at our own parenting). The courage it took to do this, and put it out there...wow. I hope this will be in our Film Festival, here in Traverse City (with Michael Moore). Thank you for creating something that has occupied my mind for the last 18 hours - straight! Best to you and your family. Meghan I can’t begin to tell you how moved we were by your film.

Tracey it took real courage to make this film, and i know in the footage, theres tremendous humor in all of it as well. its such a cathartic explanation of parenthood and a great film for anyone with toddlers who askes, "does it get any easier?" this film is a wonderful answer. bravo tracey when does the reality show begin????? this is a film made by someone who has no fear of letting it all hang out.

It is a "must see experience" for all - parent or not. This movie is brilliant, it has guts, it's beautiful to watch, it's relevant but most importantly, it's honest ! Kudos to Taylor Templeton for allowing herself to be so closely examined and kudos to her mother for caring to take the time to examine for all to see and all to wake up... I loved this movie, the Paul Williams song is so poinant. Okay, I cried throughout the entire 90 plus minutes. Run, don't walk to catch the experience !

Should be seen by anyone who has children or are thinking of becoming parents.
