everything you have heard about this movie is true.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

"Fast food makes you fat and is unhealthy" that is basically all there is to this movie it's just stating information that anyone watching it should already know, it's not a huge secret. Honestly it ticks me off that this film is so anti fast food companies, if you honestly believe that McDonald's is causing problems for your health ( which if you go everyday it definitely is) just stop going it's not that hard, go to your local grocery store and pick up bread and some lunch meat and some mayo, (very cheap) make yourself some sandwiches.Stop blaming McDonald's for your poor choices

Most of us probably have fond memories (whether recent or from childhood) of McDonald's and the fast food business as a whole. In "Super Size Me", Morgan Spurlock takes a look "behind the counter", so to speak, in order to show us what that business really looks like.The premise of Spurlock's little experiment is quite simple: He will eat nothing but McDonald's food for an entire month (three meals a day), and has to super-size the meal if asked. His health is extensively tested at the beginning of his quest, and is also tested at certain points throughout the experiment to see how the McFood is treating him.There really are two ways to look at this documentary:First, there's Spurlock's experiment itself, which needs to be taken with more than a few grains of salt. Though he makes it seem as if the "McDonald's Diet" is killing him, there are many other factors not considered. He pukes up one burger on the very first day (a little suspicious), his exercise and lifestyle habits are never explained (two weeks into the experiment he actually LOSES a pound over the course of a week), and he runs into one gentleman who eats the equivalent of three Big Macs a day yet still looks fit as a fiddle. Thus, there are many inconsistencies to the basic Spurlock experiment premise.However, what really made this movie stick out for me was the parts that shed light onto the business-doings of the fast food industry itself. Though obviously each consumer is ultimately responsible for what he/she puts in his/her mouth, Spurlock makes a compelling case that "Corporate Fast Food" is truly integrated into so many facets of our daily life. They spend billions on advertising, ensconce themselves in the schools, and market themselves as family-friendly as possible. All the while, they are putting out a product that (no matter what your stance on fast food may be) is probably not helping us become any healthier.About the only thing I wish I would have seen from this doc is Spurlock putting a bit more of the onus on actual consumers, as without their dollars the fast food business world would crumble. Other than that, however, I believe that (experiment aside) Spurlock does a noble job of exposing potentially clueless consumers to the "other side of the counter", so to speak. Sometimes, people need a wake-up call to change their ways, and this definitely qualifies as that.

The documentary "Super Size Me" is very informative and interesting to watch a man suffer so much by just eating just McDonalds. This film follows a man named Spurlock, who goes on a McDonalds diet for 30 days. In his diet, he must eat McDonalds 3 times a day for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Before he went on the McDonalds diet, he was examined by three doctor and found that he was healthy. Spurlock went back on regular basis to get check up by the doctor during his journey. He health changes dramatically. For the first few days in the McDiet his body rejected the food, but later in the film he starts carving and getting use to eating McDonalds food. Spurlock shows clearly in the film how eating McDonalds everyday affected him negatively. Even the doctors told him to drop the diet because it can cause permanent damage to his body. The doctor was surprised by his mass weight gain in just in a little time. Plus, his blood pressure shoot up, he had low energy, chest pain, and symptoms of toxic shock to his liver. Spurlock whole well-being changed because of the diet which he was not use to eating this unhealthy. One big point in the film was that fast food restaurants are selling their food to us and we want to blame them for that. The truth is that we are doing this to ourselves. People are willing to spend more money on fast food than buying a cookbook and cooking healthy meal for themselves. In documentary, they talk about people suing big fast food franchises because they believe they made them fat, which I believe is ignorant in their part. People need to stop blaming others and take responsibility for their actions. The point of this documentary is show us, the American people, the real world problem of obesity and related health problems, not to be abusive of fast food. He tries to prove the two matters by using himself as the experimental subject and which changed him mentally and physically. He provides information about how American serving size are bigger than others countries. For example, American's small size cup might be considered a large for other countries around the world. He also brings out the point that big fast food franchises pursuit kids to eat their food by using clever advertisement and tactics to pull kids to eat their food. Our generation is fattest and unhealthiest to date. I recommend this movie to everyone that is or is not obese. People need to be informed to not be abusive of fast food. That it is OK to eat fast food occasionally but not every day. The documentary is for sure a wakeup call for all those people who eat fast food daily even though they know the consequences and how it will affect their bodies in the long span. Spurlock suffered for us so we can learn to not make his mistakes and not damage our own bodies. After watching this documentary, you will think twice before ordering something from any fast food restaurant.

Interesting, illuminating documentary on the fast-food industry.Observing the obesity epidemic in the USA, a documentary film-maker, Morgan Spurlock, eats only MacDonalds meals, three times a day, for 30 days. His aim is to document the changes to his body. He enlists a host of medical experts to keep track of what is happening to himself. Between this he weaves a story of the fast-food industry, and MacDonalds in particular, the food we eat and human behaviour with regard to food.Quite eye-opening and the results are quite profound. If you do eat regularly at MacDonalds, this might change your mind...Also good in that it doesn't pull any punches or try to politically correctly tiptoe around issues. Fat people are called just that and shown up for their own behaviour.On the negative side it is a touch manipulative and, at times, unobjective. A minor compliant though, especially when you compare this with the bullsh*t Michael Moore parades as "documentaries". Moore's films have zero objectivity, contain almost as little facts and are entirely based on manipulation and his own opinions.The other slightly jarring thing is the thought that MacDonalds is entirely to blame for people being fat, and are hence suable for it. Surely fat people only have themselves to blame? Oh wait, it's the 21st century and you're now never responsible for your own actions...
