Like the title says. This is a great movie. It touches on what people think about what it means to be a man, what it means to be American, what it means to succeed, what is 'moral', what is cheating, and peripherally on the 'war on drugs'.
Three moments stand out for me:
Chris Bell's meeting with the father of a high school kid who was supposedly driven to commit suicide because of steroid use. Bell questions what else might have been going on in that kid's life. The father mentions that the family lives in a town where achievement is very important. We get to see the kid's room -- it is stuffed with sports trophies. (Maybe dad was pushing his kid too hard?) It turns out the kid was taking Lexapro -- which has been implicated in suicidal thinking. Dad wants to blame steroids, so he bats away all of Bell's questions. Meeting with that kid's father and diverging from the standard "steroids are evil" script took a lot of nerve, but it was done well and respectfully;
The second moment came with (then senator) Joe Biden's grandstanding against steroids in a Senate committee meeting. Biden says that the thought of athletes using anything but what God gave them to win at their sport offends him -- this from a guy who got hairplugs and dental veneers for a leg up in his game (coincidentally, Biden's the same idiot who pushed the RAVE Act, which made possessing a baby pacifier at a party illegal), and;
The third moment was Arnold Schwarzenegger's being named GHW Bush's chairman of the Presidential Council of Sports and Physical Fitness -- after the president signed the bill outlawing steroid use. Arnold never would have been 'Mr. Universe', or a movie star, or governor, had it not been for steroids.
And someone once said Americans don't do irony.

This book has always been a fun read for me. I've read it several times since I first purchased it five or six years ago. Now I'm buying it as gifts for friends.

We used the suits to do a skit mimicking professional wrestlers. The suits worked out perfectly. The men using the suits were different sizes and shapes, but the suits worked for all of them.
Very happy with the purchase.
