Watch Big Boys Gone Bananas!* Movie Online No Survey Big Boys Gone Bananas!* has been called a classic David Vs Goliath story - but this is more about defending the right to freedom of speech and what happens to a documentary filmmaker when he goes up against a large corporation like Dole Foods and how far Dole will go to shift the focus off of them and onto the filmmaker even after their own CEO has admitted wrong doing in a court of law. Media spin, PR scare tactics, dirty tricks, lawsuits, and corporate bullying come into play, but it is the people who ultimately prevail, thus creating a cautionary tale and a real life lesson learning experience. -- (C) Official Site Release Date Big Boys Gone Bananas!* Jul 27, 2012 Limited | |

Review For Big Boys Gone Bananas!* |
Compelling and often shocking. Dave Calhoun-Time Out
An eye-opening look at the way the U.S. media fell lockstep behind Dole's claims. Sheri Linden-Los Angeles Times
The film's protests of censorship ring hollow given its selective version of the truth. Simon Abrams-Village Voice
A provocative look at what can happen when corporate power takes aim at independent film. Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times
An occasionally fascinating, if ultimately reductive, showdown between First Amendment rights and corporate power. Andrew Schenker-Time Out New York
A David-and Goliath story that delves into corporate scare tactics, legal effrontery, brand protection, media manipulation, online propagandizing and craven behavior. John Anderson-Variety
A compelling story about freedom of speech, and how in a worldwide economy and digital age companies are even more apt to take aggressive measures to squelch voices and stories that can negatively impact their bottom lines. Brent Simon-Shockya.com
Important ... Philip French-Observer [UK]
A salutary story. Derek Malcolm-This is London
A film that convinces you that individuals' actions can make a difference. Allan Hunter-Daily Express
Interesting enough but there's nothing here a Wikipedia page won't tell you. Adam Woodward-Little White Lies
Gertten's film deftly lifts the lid on the black ops of 21st-century "brand management". Dole comes out smelling of ordure. Xan Brooks-Guardian [UK]
Corporate PR has seldom looked so sinister, or daft. Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph
A sweetly quixotic documentary about the justice sought by a Swedish film-maker after Dole, the fruit-tinning company, tried to ban his earlier documentary about pesticide-poisoned banana pickers in Nicaragua. Nigel Andrews-Financial Times
A punchy examination of an oppressive corporate machinery in full swing. David Parkinson-Empire Magazine
A compelling case study in the perils of taking on Goliath, and a timely parable about modern media and corporate "reputation anxiety". Simon Kinnear-Total Film
Far more dramatic than Dragon Tattoo since it involves a real Swede against real vicious corporate pigs. The truth, of course, is always more interesting than fiction. Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews
The issue remains that this variety of faux-populism seems better suited to the soapbox than the silver screen. Budd Wilkins-Slant Magazine
Lying as a corporate art form S. James Wegg-JWR
Big Boys Gone Bananas!* makes a damning case against Dole as a corporate bully eager to silence criticism, but it raises troubling questions about the veracity of its own case it frustratingly has no interest in answering. Nathan Rabin-AV Club
