IHMO REVIEW :
saw this the other day and really enjoyed it. it's a documentary filmed by Jamie Johnson (20 year old heir to Johnson & Johnson), interviewing his friends who are also 'born rich.'

i enjoyed this movie very much because it gave insight to a sub-culture which few ever see (myself included) of people born into wealth and how they handle their lives. it's facinating to see the stuff they have to deal with which most people will never experience.

for example - one heir who was being interviewed told a story of when he turned 18. his parents came to visit him and then gave him a stack of paperwork to sign - one of which was his will. crazy~

what i got from the movie was that these kids who don't have to do anything become one of two things. one - crazy / depressed / don't have any direction or goals in life or two - they find something which gives them purpose / interest / facination. and those who find purpose seem to be better off. i guess that could be said of anyone.

bottom line - BUY / RENT / BORROW - watch it.
