It is weird but I loved this movie. Could be cuz I am a bagger of old who thinks proper bagging is an art form. It was nice to see them show how to correctly square a bag - cans and boxes at the bottom, glass in the center, paper/boxes on the sides, top with crushables. Pack heavy to light, evenly dispersing weight. Harder than it sounds when speed is factored in.

They follow a number of individuals contending to go to the competition which was cool cuz they went from part time teenagers, to fulltime older career baggers, to retirees....all talking about both their lives and their jobs/careers. It's nice to see people proud of their work, wanting to be better at it, and getting a chance to compete.

Yeah I'm weird but I got a thing about bagging groceries correctly.

Maybe so, but I am too. I'm always mumbling to Ebon about how the bagging was done improperly and I was never a bagger.

I just know how it's supposed to go.
