Admirable film.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Supersize Me is essentially a movie about a man who eats way too much every day for a month and gets fat. I would like to point out that eating 3k+ calories of ANYTHING every meal will make you fat. Morgan Spurlock offers no control group and his arbitrary method of accepting the offer to "Supersize" whenever asked has no clear purpose other than to prove McDonalds doesn't really ask that often. I would suggest to anyone who has watched this to also watch "Fathead." It offers insight into Spurlock's methodology for the film as well as poking some major flaws in his so called logic. To summarize, this movie does a great job of creating hate towards one of many players in the fast food industry, but it fails to properly educate and provide any useful facts.

This is a movie that I knew I had to watch at some point.It showcases Morgan Spurlock, the same man who directed this movie, eating food from McDonald's and McDonald's only for 30 days. The consequences include extreme cravings for fast food, an inactive sex life, an increased risk of a heart attack, depression, increased blood pressure, getting sick frequently, and extreme and frequent lethargy, thus leading to an early death. The negative effects of eating fast- food are not only health-related, they also increase negative body image, and I am a male becoming more conscious about my appearance. Other effects are financial, social and psychological. It also showcases that McDonald's is a multi-billion dollar corporation with restaurants in a multitude of countries around the world, including my home country, Australia. Another fact is junk-food companies make far, far more money than health food companies. It is like the media makes a lot more money by negative attention than positive attention. I will admit there was a surgery scene which I often find really difficult watch, because they are really disgusting sights, but I did not have very much trouble watching that scene. Why? The Blue Danube by Strauss made it much easier to watch, since that song is used a lot for comedic purposes. Now that I think of it that way, I find surgery scenes easier to watch than seeing cockroaches, since they look absolutely revolting by their anatomy, and when I see them move, it grosses me out even more, to the point that at best, I lose my appetite for hours and at worst, it makes me want to vomit violently.If you want to watch an entertaining and amusing documentary about fast-food and its negative effects, then this is the movie.Highly recommended.

I liked SUPER SIZE ME. It has a satirical, Michael Moore-style vibe going on. As a documentary, this is simple stuff indeed: a guy eats only McDonald's food for an entire month, and suffers the health consequences of his challenge, but it's never dull, never slow, never boring. Instead, the director and star Morgan Spurlock hits you with a barrage of facts, figures, footage, and interviews, leaving you with a story that's disturbing and blackly funny.The story explores America's exploding obesity epidemic, as well as looking at what makes McDonald's food so darned tasty. There's an emphasis on medical facts and figures, which makes this always grounded rather than merely opinionated, and the journey-style narrative lends itself easily to a film format. Did it put me off eating takeaway food? Not particularly, as I try to only do so in moderation anyway. And as we see in SUPER SIZE ME, moderation is something all too lacking these days...

This movie is entertaining and alright, but apparently it's not entirely truthful. Basically it's made to make McDonalds look bad. Others have tried but not been able to replicate the results seen in this movie. And the caloric intake he claims every day, is not supposed to be possible considering his "rules".And a documentary that isn't "real", well, that's not the best kind of documentary, is it?Other than that I was entertained by this, it has some interesting information. I did not know at the time I saw it, that it wasn't totally trustworthy, but I can't really say I was shocked by the results anyway.Mainly I started craving food from American McDonalds. Haha.Anyhow, now I'm vegan so McDonalds is my least favorite fast food place, as they have no veggie-burger on their menus. For shame, McDonalds! For shame.
