Tonight The Girl and I are going to watch Freakanomics. It’s based on the best selling book by the same title. Basically, an economist attempts to answer what motivates people to make everyday decisions. He uses statistics to explain life’s most basic mysteries, like crime rates, poverty, etc.
The book got such great reviews, that I thought the movie might be a cool overview.
Amazon Prime Members can watch Freakanomics for free HERE.
Let me know what you think if you decide to watch it–or if you have already seen it. Did you love it? Hate it? Can’t wait to watch it over and over?

I have read the book and watched the movie…loved them both! I like how they make you think about how and why something is done based on stats; which can be against the norm or how we percieve things to be. I find this type of study facinating. Enjoy the movie!

What did you think Mavis? My husband and I found the book fascinating but haven’t watched the movie yet. It’s on our list!

Is Amazon Prime where you watch most of these movies. We have done the trial version of Netflix and, I am not impressed. Hulu plus – even less impressed. We don’t have cable or satellite and are looking for something with decent titles. Almost everything we searched for in Netflix was not found.
