FREAKONOMICS is the highly anticipated film version of the phenomenally bestselling book about incentives-based thinking by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner. Like the book, the film examines human behavior with provocative and sometimes hilarious case studies, bringing together a dream team of filmmakers responsible for some of the most acclaimed and entertaining documentaries in recent years: Academy Award® winner Alex Gibney (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, Casino Jack and the United States of Money), Academy Award® nominees Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing (Jesus Camp), Academy Award® nominee Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me), Eugene Jarecki (Why We Fight) and Seth Gordon (The King of Kong).
To celebrate the film’s release we’ve got one three-pack of dvds to win, three genuinely great documentaries that belong in your collection. Included is Jesus Camp, Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room and Man on Wire. That’s two easy ways to get horrified and one to get amazed, respectively.

Freakonomics was the most suffocatingly smug book I have tried to read. I gave up half way through because the endless self-congratulation made me feel slightly ill. It was also only a fraction as interesting as it thought it was.
Why in the world would anyone at this site want to "celebrate the release of this movie"? Every major point brought forth in this book has been debunked time and again since it came out. Its a tome full of bullshit and ties drawn on weak correlation and zero causality; an embarrassment to the study of statistics and economics.
Freakonomics may have been too much for some but I loved it and the sequel
