    Director Andrew Renzi (“The Curse of Von Dutch: A Brand to Die For”) captures the zeitgeist of 1990s pop culture while treating this material like a non-fiction Adam McKay film, filled with popping visuals, colorful real-life characters and solidly researched intel.

    Pepsi, Where’s My Jet? doesn’t even try to take itself seriously, making for a fun look at how the little guy tried to call a big corporation on its mistakes. We don’t imagine they got away with it, but we’re looking forward to the journey they took to get to that point.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. I love a good documentary, at the very least it needs to be entertaining.

    'Pepsi, Where's my Jet?' managed to lure me in, as I was also a teenager at the time they started airing the original commercials.

    Unfortunately, by the 3rd episode the series had overstayed it's welcome. The documentary is way too bogged down with filler and fluff, a lot of which I would even argue doesn't even have anything to do with the topic of the documentary, the lawsuit with Pepsi.

    I only finished watching the series because I only had one more, but if I am being honest, it felt like the last episode was completely unneeded.

    This documentary could have been done in an hour. Instead they chose to waste our time.

    At the very least, this documentary has managed to justify my hate for Pepsi Co., I genuinely hope that after this documentary is out for awhile that they start to see declining sales, I hope it puts a sour taste in anyone's mouth that once supported Pepsi.

    A company that lies and cheats their consumers is not a company that should continue to exist. Especially when they are at least partially responsible for riots in the Philippines.    … Full Review »
