★★★★ · Good infomation, · ERD · 2006-09-23

While the information about capitalism is well covered, the dialogue is a bit contrived. Good acting and direction.

★★★ · Weenie Capitalism Defined! · Spuzz · 2003-02-25

In this film, 5 chirpy teenagers get into a philosphical arguement about what capitalism is, and what it means to them. An example is given with Mr Brown and the puchase of some weenies from his store. One of the kids says "We needed weenies, Mr Brown had weenies". Much discussion is then brought forward about just Mr. Brown's motives were with those weenies. He's a shrewd one, apparently.
