Since 2004, men are more likely to voluntarily marry. The reason? An excuse to watch Desperate Housewives. That may not be the case (at least I hope it isn't), but the truth is that if all women's shows were like this, men would do nothing but watch them; football or not.

I believe it took a lot of patience to film certain moments. I think it paid off though. Since the documentary includes almost no dialogue or interviews, the film dragged quite a bit. It was a bit boring at times. But the families were chosen appropriately and the difference between them was noticeable. I found life most comfortable in Japan. On the other hand, I can't imagine life in Namibia and probably not even in Mongolia. Some of the customs are really striking. 4 stars.

A nice documentary, which primarily shows the differences in how we raise our children. One Mongolian, one Japanese, one Namibian, and one American. Each is raised differently, and different methods will seem strange to you, but surprisingly, they are not only from cultures that are quite distant from us.
