Slashfilm reviews “Zen”
Slashfilm has a review of “Zen and the Art of Competitive Eating” The reviewer finds Crazy Legs Conti a compelling figure, but wishes the documentary had a wider focus.
Crazy Legs is a great documentary subject because he is such an interesting character. He’s unique and funny, and strangely relatable. He’s that friend that everyone talks about at parties. Watching Crazy Legs eat is pretty gross, but it’s easy to root for him the whole time anyways, even when Conti, who is always trying to push the limits tries to gulp down sticks of butter.
