    BIGGER The Movie Review - Joe & Ben Weider's Story!

    Just watched BIGGER The Movie online and I thought I would write a small review for the forum community. It was really good!! Especially if you have been/are a fan of old school bodybuilding and have followed the sport since the 80s-90s.

    Acting was pretty solid and you see a lot of the big names of the era, Jack Lalanne, Frank Zane, Arnold, Sergio, Larry Scott and many others. The empire that Joe & Ben Weider built in a relatively short period of time is really astonishing. The movie shows how Joe went about building his magazines, the weight set manufacturing, the supplements and of course the IFBB with his brother Ben.

    Highly recommended!! (I watched it on Amazon Video with a standard def. rental).

    Counter review ...pretty poor acting all around, although Betty Weider wasn’t bad. The movie isn’t really about bodybuilding, but rather about Joe Weiders life...and he was a pretty boring guy. The antagonist is a fictional character who is supposed to be a composit of the challenges Joe Weider faced (or feels he faced).

    IMHO, even trying to over dramatize his life, it was pretty drawn out. In all honesty, I think a 2 hour documentary about Joe and Ben Weider, with more attention paid to how bodybuilding developed parallel to thier involvement would have been 100 times better.

    Worth watching if you have 2 hours with NOTHING better to do, and it is free. You won’t learn anything new about bodybuilding, and you’ll walk away with a numb feeling towards Joe Weider.
