It's [Johnson's] first film (it shows), but he strikes gold by getting the kind of access to his peers no one else could.

Johnson directs, produces and narrates the program, and the fact that he's willing to explore issues of wealth and what it means earns him some admiration right off the bat.

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
At least Johnson was honest to both the audience and himself, and kept an open mind. Really, that's all you can ask for.

Jul 25, 2007

The documentary is handled adequately, but it's the access and the candor Johnson is able to provide that makes Born Rich a little interesting.
