Movie Reviews of Super Size Me
Movie Review: Recommended along with the Fast Food Nation
Summary: 4 Stars
It is funny and outrageous at the same time. Everyone knows that fast food is not good for health, but I never thought that the film-maker would actually go ahead and perform that kind of experiment on his body. Now you know what happens when you eat too much fast food. Even if nobody will actually replicate that kind of experiment for his eating style, you know that in the long run it will poison your entire body system. So wake up, eat healthy food, exercise, get plenty of rest, sleep well, learn about nutrition and how our country is being run by corporations.
Summary of Super Size Me
Morgan spurlock unravels the american obesity epidemic by interviewing experts nationwide & subjecting himself to a mcdonalds only diet for 30 days. Its as entertaining as it is horrifying - diving into corporate responsibility & how we as a nation are eating ourselves to death. Studio: Arts Alliance America Release Date: 10/11/2005 Run time: 96 minutes Rating: Pg13Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, rejected five times by the USC film school, won the best director award at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival for this alarmingly personal investigation into the health hazards wreaked by our fast food nation. Under extensive medical supervision, Spurlock subjects himself to a steady diet of McDonald's cuisine for 30 days just to see what happens. In less than a week, his ordinarily fit body and equilibrium undergo dark and ugly changes: Spurlock grows fat, his cholesterol rockets north, his organs take a beating, and he becomes subject to headaches, mood swings, symptoms of addiction, and lessened sexual energy. The gimmick is too obvious to sustain a feature documentary; Spurlock actually spends most of the film probing insidious ways that fast food companies worm their way into school lunchrooms and the hearts of young children who spend hours in McDonald's playrooms. French fries never looked more nauseating. --Tom Keogh
