If you've ever wondered why there hasnt been an overflow of Can documentaries, well, look no further. 'Miracle Of The Can' pretty much is the beginning, middle and end of the can. For 40 minutes (!!) we see the birth and the progress of the can in terms of production. If this all sounds pretty boring to you, well, you're sort of right. This film could EASILY be trimmed in half.As a matter of fact, when you've finished the first half, you feel that they've summed it up nicely, then you realize you've got 20 minutes more to go! Only worth seeing for the bizarre shot of cans growing on trees…
