Wow, I love this movie so much that I watched it, and then watched it again a few hours later. It's a nice little movie filled with love laughter friendship and family. Tony Hale and cast did an amazing job. Kudos to everyone. It's one of those movies that is clearly not an Oscar winner, but perfect in every other way as a general, all around tightly woven perfectly scripted and casted movie. This is a movie great for the family great for date movie or just by yourself. I was hesitant to see it based on the title, but the trailer drew me in. It was well worth the three dollars I paid to Amazon to watch this movie, and I say that rarely. I am unsure if this is actually based on a real story, I haven't looked it up, but I assume it's not. If it is, it's brilliant. A very heartwarming, touching movie about humankind in the goodness in the not so good in all of us. I would call it a dark comedy or drama. I've never really seen anything that Tony Hale is done, so I'm very impressed with this, if this is any indication of what he has planned for the future.

I'm surprised this movie only has a 5.6 overall rating. If you like feel-good movies, this one is for you. Guy from Arrested Development (don't know his name) does an amazing job and so do the side characters. Watch this movie!

While watching Scott Abramovitch's "Eat Wheaties!", I could relate to Tony Hale's character a bit, what with his social awkwardness and tendency to fixate on things. But beyond that, the movie offers a warning about what things will become like if social media and celebrity obsession end up dominating our lives to the point where we can't concentrate. It's not a great movie, but I get the feeling that this sort of thing has happened. It's getting to the point where we need classes teaching people how NOT to do this (or at the very least, parents need to keep their children away from screens). In the end, I recommend the movie. In addition to Tony Hale, Paul Walter Hauser, Danielle Brooks and Elisha Cuthbert, the cast includes Alan Tudyk (a voice artist), Rizwan Manji (Ray on "Schitt's Creek") and Mimi Kennedy (Marjorie on "Mom").

Surprisingly entertaining. It's like one of those films you can't look away and each moments gets more and more awkward. Worth the watch and has a lot of funny moments.

It's a movie sent a message that loser is a relatively term. Sid looks like a dump loser and act weird in some way but he wins a lot in his life indeed. It's a story and fake but kinda inspired many of normal people that attitude matters. Funny movie also.

Sid Straw (Tony Hale) is a bit of an awkward loser but he tries really hard. He gets appointed co-chair of his college reunion and is told to get on Facebook in order to do the organizing. He's clueless to social media as well as many other things. He is delighted to see former college acquaintance Elizabeth Banks there and starts posting on her fan page. Only the postings are public and her agent Frankie grows tired of his persistence. Frankie files a restraining order on Sid and his life spirals down the drain. Sid is awkward and clueless. Tony Hale does sell it for all it's worth. He keeps the character from devolving into anger or creepy. I wouldn't say that this is terribly funny but it does become touching around the middle. As his life degenerates, his sadness becomes quite compelling and very endearing. It's an improvement over his cringy cluelessness to his loserdom. By the middle, he's more self-aware. There is a sweetness to Sid and it's all down to Tony Hale.

My 11 year old son and I just watched this film. He doesn't usually watch movies like this, but he was on the edge of his seat, feeling for and cheering for Sid. It's a movie that reminds all of us, especially during a time where connections are significantly influenced by online / social media, that everyone is deserving of kindness and compassion. It's also a reminder to be kind to ourselves by embracing who we are. Eat Wheaties is a brilliantly funny, beautiful, and moving film. A must watch!

I really enjoyed this movie! Although the story is not too surprising, the movie has a rather fast pace (a lot of things happen in a very short time), therefore it doesn't get boring and the characters are well portrayed by a really great cast! I loved the characters, the movie portrays a range of people you wouldn't want to be friends with in real life, but they are shown through such a loving and uplifting lense, you can't help but like their quirky and sometimes questionable characters.
