this film be rivet but in much the same way a car crash be rivet . it hard to look away . overall and this film be nothing more than an incredibly irresponsible social experiment and a futile and bias experiment at that . the filmmaker be manipulative and seem to have no problem go for the low possible denominator . the manner in which the money be present to ted be pure exploitation . the intervening step that the filmmaker force ted to participate in ( meeting with so call expert ) be empty and devoid of any substantive attempt to connect with ted . instead and it painfully obvious that they serve to cover the filmmaker posterior and to far exploit ted situation . the bad part be that the filmmaker stop follow ted after 6 month while and seemingly be cut off entirely from the subject they have follow so closely month before . if they have care and they would have find good expert to help ted . if they truly want to see what ted would do and then they should have let him spend the money without any intervention . this film be at best a high brow jackass stunt and not a documentary . it sad to think how much $ 100 and 000 could have actually change a homeless person life have it be put in the right hand .
