About this movie

A provocative insider investigation exposing the secrets of the scandal-filled yet thriving pickup industry where "instructors" teach a system they claim guarantees success with women. From dubious sales techniques to cult-like devotion, objectification and sexual assault, this film lays bare the secret inner workings of the underground world of seduction "gurus".

An exciting and probing look into the pickup industry and an important lesson on how lifestyles are sold and packaged. Highly recommended. I can imagine the disciples of pickup are furious about this film but the funny thing is I couldn't help but feel that ultimately it was them that the documentary was trying to help. In the words of Ross Jeffries, the man who started it all way back in 1985 - Let the buyer beware. Compelling viewing and a film that stays with you long after you've finished watching it. Definitely one that both men and women will get a lot out of in my humble opinion. 5 stars.

Really don't know where to start with this review. Definitely one of the most controversial and interesting docs I've watched in a long time. Shows the human side (and cost) of people that get too lost in this lifestyle. I also realised some of these pick up techniques had been used on me in the past!
