Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead Trailers

100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Joe Cross is at the end of his rope and the end of his hope. In the mirror he saw a 310lb man whose gut was bigger than a beach ball and a path laid out before him that wouldn't end well— with one foot already in the grave, the other wasn't far behind. FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD is an inspiring film that chronicles Joe's personal mission to regain his health.

Reviews
Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
invisibleunicornninja My grandma loves this movie and made me watch it. The movie is poorly put together, and the main guys are annoying. It's not very informative and uninteresting. I will say though that it is indeed inspirational and helped my grandma lose weight.
Ersbel Oraph This is a rip off Super Size Me. Hysterics. But in a sick way, good news. It means that men start to care about their own health. The bad news is that it goes the same way as the general direction for women: depression and eating disorders labeled as "I take care of my body".And if you take a moment to think it's all the S&M Christianity has ever offered: exercise is a way to punish the body. Even the producer says "we have to take him away from any temptation". Like with the anti vaccines nuts, the nutrition nuts do not have much science to back them, but they do have guilt in seemingly unlimited quantities. And the same way, as the diseases we vaccinate for are hard to notice, the same way famine is hard to notice. So food is bad. Pleasure is bad. The alternative is not happiness, the alternative is a dark place which will lead you to some sort of invisible paradise.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch
Tara "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead" is a movie that I would strongly suggest for anyone who feels that he or she is unhealthy or overweight. It is based on a true story and it is one of the most inspirational movies I have ever watched. It describes the lives of mainly two individuals who make a proactive life decision to drink solely fresh fruit and vegetable juice for sixty days straight. The movie takes you on the journey of these two individual's lives and their progress as they make this healthy life choice. As Joe is the main character who starts this journey, his goal throughout the movie is to help as many people as he can to experience this incredible progress with him and to become extremely fit and healthy. I really enjoyed watching this movie and again, I would recommend it to anyone!
jvande7471-249-355231 I saw this movie completely by accident (or divine intervention?). Our regular Sunday night TV had been preempted by an awards show, so we decided to see what was on Netflix. I saw the title, and it described me so well that I had to see it.Joe Cross sets out across the US to promote better eating and show what it's done for him. I thought this first half of the film was informative and I expected it to end there. He got his point across about the benefits of consuming the juice of a variety of fruits and vegetables, and how the body uses those nutrients to heal itself.Then comes Phil, an overweight, out of shape truck driver who reaches out for help. Following Phil's journey was tremendously inspiring. Watching him lose weight, decrease or eliminate medications and just take control of his life has changed MY life completely.Before the credits finished rolling, I had my shoes and jacket on and was out the door on my way to buying my first juicer.This is a movie I will re-watch often.
