Nuts!!!
 
Finding Kraftland was just plain funny! I loved it!! It was a true movie about a father, Richard Kraft, and son, Nicky Kraft (It’s just a movie about themselves; they play themselves). Pretty much they are ego-centric billionaires who collect just about everything you can think of, throw huge birthday parties (like the one with 750 guests), have toured the world to find the best roller-coasters (they went on 425), and a lot more. I’m totally serious – these people are nuts!! For example, instead of buying normal Disneyland souvenirs, they take parts of the actual rides back with them, like ‘It’s a small world…’ dolls or Dumbo elephants (like the real Dumbo cars that you sit in). They also keep a few Disneyland trashcans around the house at all times, as well.
 Nicky’s parents are divorced so he spends 2/3 of his time in Oregon with his mom and 1/3 of his time in LA with his dad. He and his dad are best friends    and they always have a lot of fun. The whole focus on Richard is that he is really childlike, and his son is now surpassing him in brain power.
    I really recommend this movie if you want to watch a lighthearted movie with no apparent moral or message that will make you laugh!
