Boy, did I enjoy Super Size Me. Film maker Morgan Spurlock decides to eat only McDonald's food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, everyday for one month. He has physicians closely monitor the health consequences of this diet, which prove to be nearly disastrous for Spurlock.
Spurlock is simply terrific. He is likeable and very dedicated to his task. His body begins a quick metamorphosis into a very unhealthy condition yet he continues his McDonald's diet in a very light-hearted, amusing, and, sometimes, grotesque manner.
It seems most Americans either have or had a love affair with the fast food restaurant chain, McDonald's, so I have no doubt some people who watch this for the first time will feel offended. How dare Spurlock put down McDonalds? Spurlock, however, does not really assault McDonalds, he is just making us aware of some bad things we already know.
One very terrific surprise in the movie is when Spurlock begins to analyze school lunch systems and how excessively bad they are for good health. I did not see this part coming. It is both intriguing and alarming to see what kids are eating every day.
Super Size me is a terrific film. I enjoyed it more than Spurlock's more recent film The Greatest Movie Ever Sold.
Check out super size me.
