Food Inc is a documentary that takes Eric Schlosser, Barbara Kingsolver and Michael Pollan and basically turns their associated books into a documentary. If you (like me) have already read said books, you don't really learn anything new but just watch them visually come to life.
But the benefit of a movie is that you can take someone along with you that has no intention to ever read these books but will pretty much never turn down a movie. So, take a friend to Food Inc that you will never convince to read the books. It definitely results in interesting conversation. And they will be happy to split some vegetarian food with you afterwards too.
Food Inc is currently playing at the Lagoon in Uptown and is being showed in a wide variety of special events around town.

Jenny and I went on Friday and enjoyed it. I think I may have changed her mind on why I have certain food neuroses. As a reader, I didn't learn much new stuff, but I did enjoy the movie!
If you're into the concept of this movie, you might be into the concept of my site as well: http://spilledingredients.com. I'm a fellow Minneapolis foodie who will be seeing this film *SOON*.
