The Lebanese Burger Mafia

I am generally interested in watching this. My first observation was how the music drowned out the dialogue in the intro. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the voices represented maybe 20% of the overall sound. I waited to see if this was confined to the intro, but shortly after there was another audio washout. It's unfortunate, because (for me) it really takes away from what I have no doubt is an excellent story. I have only seen 10 minutes, and would have scored it as a 2 for watchability based on sound, but raised it to 5 because I found the subject interesting and wanted to give the filmmaker the benefit of the doubt.

I went to see this with a friend and honestly did not have much in terms of expectations. I am not much of a documentary person, let alone one about a burger franchise. I was pleasantly surprised at how interesting I found the topic, having driven by Burger Baron multiple time but never stopping to try it out. Now I want to try it. It brought to light a very interesting history to the franchise chain and had some funny moments to it as well. I believe writer/director Omar Mouallem put together a really decent doc and I hope it sees the success he is looking for. I believe the film is still making the festival rounds but I definitely recommend that others check it out if they get the opportunity.
