Popcorn!

Running time: 55 mins

Aaron Fischer is a San Francisco native with a simple dream - to be immortalized forever as a world record holder. Rather than being able to lift the heaviest weight or have the longest toenails, Fischer seeks to create the world's largest container of popcorn. Set to a jazzy score by the Squirrel Nut Zippers, Popcorn! follows Fischer as he enlists friends and family to help him enter the Guinness Book. The road is paved with tons of unpopped kernels, dozens of "modified" air poppers and many funny miscalculations. It's a hilarious portrait of a man willing to spend considerable time and money towards a dream that even he considers trivial. Word to the wise - empty your pockets before climbing up 8,000 cubic feet of popcorn! Reviewed by Meredith H. Sherter
