The competition was intense and ended with a slow motion alley oop move where apples were expertly placed inside a paper bag just before time ran out. It was an unbelievable, ridiculous, and stupid premise perfect for prime time Fox. I felt this way up until I saw the trailer for “Paper or Plastic?” and realized that not only is competitive grocery bagging a very real and vibrant activity, it is also much crazier than its fictionalized recreation.

“Speed, Structure, and Weight” are the three tenets of the comps in “Paper or Plastic?” a film that made its debut last Friday at the Los Angeles Film Festival. Be sure to read the synopsis and check out the film’s trailer below.

“About excelling in life at whatever you do, the feature length documentary follows contestants and their dedicated supporters from around the U.S. as they get ready for the National Grocery Bagging competition in Las Vegas. Speed, accuracy and heart will determine who is best qualified to ask you, “Paper or plastic?”"
