★★★☆☆

written by crossoflife on 10/09/2009

In a fast pace society and a hectic lifestyle, our diet is also influenced. This cause us to eat unhealthily and grab anything that is fast to prepared and fast to served. This lead to the emergence and popularity of the fast food. Apart from being fast, is fast food good for us? In the documentary, fast food is looked into in an amusing and entertaining way. Looking at the physical and physiological changes of the director is a shock. After this documentary, it make me has second thought whether to eat fast food again.

“What a waste of time the Super Size Me 'movie' is. ”

☆☆☆☆☆

written by Kevin Unitt on 09/12/2005

What a waste of time the Super Size Me 'movie' is.

So eating McDonald's three times a day for a month makes you fat - incredible, thanks for enlightening us.

It is indeed the 'distortion of reality' the fast food giant claims.
No one in there right mind - unless of course you wanted to make money off a lame documentary - eats it more than around three times a week, so for normal people it would take around 900 years for it to have the same effects on our body as Spurlock experienced.

The direction and script (if there were either) were just dreadful.
The more he ate the worse he felt - surprised anyone?
If he carried on doing it he would die said the doctor - I'm no expert and I could have told you that!

And the most tedious pieces of film ever? Spurlock telling his worried sick mother that he'd be OK, that he only had a few more days to go, as if he was some hero thrust into battle against a giant superpower, when in fact he was nothing more than an attention seeker inadvertently doing a phenomenal promotion campaign for the Golden Arches.

The whole experiment was frankly pointless, and showed us nothing we did not already know:
A - fast food makes you fat
B - Americans will go to strange and stupid lengths to be famous.

You seem to have missed the point slightly. The film was trying to show exactly how stilted people's ideas of a healthy diet are. He was simply going to an extreme while investigating people's attitudes towards fast food. To me the surprising thing was not that he felt unwell and gained weight, of course that was going to happen, it's the extent to which it happened and the effects of all the additives in the food.
<br/>
<br/>Yes, he was making a rather extreme point, but he never said it was scientific, he wasn&#039;t just pulling a stunt, he was trying to highlight an issue about diet, about ignorance and about health.

Super Size Me is a brilliant and amusing look at the damage fast food is doing to people, in particualur the American public. After a court case (for making its customers fat) again McDonalds's was thrown up because there was no proof McDonald's is bad for you, Morgan Spurlock goes on a one-man eating mission. He eats McDonalds for 3 meals every day for a month. It may sound pretty boring to watch someone repeatidly eat chips and burgers but it's not. The documentary is a real eye-opener, it's quite shocking in places and very amusing. If you have ever eaten a hamburger you need to watch this film.
