Movie Reviews of Fat Head
Movie Review: The anti-SuperSize me
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a terrific little movie that, among other things, is the perfect antidote to the very misleading and over-praised Morgan Spurlock film "Supersize Me" . Naughton, in a very clever and funny way, performs a real service here, setting the record straight on how we have all been sold a bill-of-goods regarding what constitutes proper nutrition. In the process, he exposes the Low Fat advice as the load of bologna that it is, and strikes a blow for freedom of choice at the same time.
Funny and smart, you'll be hard pressed to spend a more enlightening 100 minutes, and you'll come away with more practical knowledge than a whole college course in "convential " nutrition.
Ronald McDonald is not your enemy, but "the guy from CSPI" just might be.
Movie Review: Fun, Provocative, Informative
Summary: 5 Stars
Amusing, likable, and amazingly informative, "Fat Head" is both a documentary response to Morgan Spurlock's "Super Size Me" and a muckraking expose of the lowfat-eating dogma. You think this is a trivial matter? One doctor involved in researching the supposed benefits of eating lowfat called its theoretical basis -- the "lipid hypothesis" -- "perhaps the greatest scientific fraud of the 20th century." "Fat Head" is also a triumph of self-financed, hands-on, DYI filmmaking, plain-speaking funny-regular-guy division. Watch it. You'll learn a ton as well as be very amused. Loads of personality and flair, an honesty about what it encounters -- and the simple animations it's full of are little miracles of info-compression and info-clarity.Movie Review: Outstanding entry into the Diet Wars
Summary: 5 Stars
A very funny and very well made assessment of the low fat ("lipid hypothesis") vs. low carb diet wars, with side trips into the politics of diets and food production, the unstated vegetarian agenda of CSPI, the political and legal assaults on fast food (and the implicit contempt for the poor and people of color who are "too dumb and lazy" to make their own decisions) and the questionable accuracy of Morgan Spurlock's Super-size me. The narrative is well done and the research is credible.
The only thing that's somewhat unbelievable - how did a (funny and likeable) schlub like Naughton get a woman that attractive (and talented - great animation) to marry him? Hmmm...
Great movie, highly recommended.
Movie Review: Fantastic. Well done and funny -- and true!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been researching low carb vs. low fat for decades. Naughton's excellent film encapsulates what people need to know in a super-entertaining package! I had not seen Spurlock's (lying) movie before seeing Fat Head, so was interested to rent it (didn't want to put any money in HIS pocket!!), to see what Naughton was answering. This documentary is spot on in debunking the foolishness and lies of Spurlock's movie (and why HASN'T Spurlock released his food diary to the public? What's he hiding... well, never mind, Naughton shows what he must be hiding using math and science!)
Get this film -- invite your family and the neighbors in and enjoy! (I'm sending copies to all my family members!)
Movie Review: A Must See Movie -- Timeless Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This was an excellent movie/documentary/comedy about how the American Public has been taken down the wrong path in the search of a healthy diet.
While I realize that Tom Naughton is a stand-up comic, and not a Dr or Dietician, I understand the science that he is trying to prove, and it makes perfect sense.
Everyone who is struggling with losing weight, controlling their cholesterol or Blood Glucose needs to watch this video.
I especially enjoy how this movie goes after some of the fundamental flaws in the SUPERSIZE ME movie.
You will be entertained and educated while watching this movie. WATCH IT TODAY!!!!!
