The first ever reality-based movie ... everything begins and ends in 30 days!

He submits himself to a complete check-up by three doctors, comparing his weight along the way, resulting in a scary conclusion.

An incredibly interesting idea which provides a great insight into something still totally relevant today.
I still want a burger though.

I'm already a fan of Morgan Spurlock, his show 30 Days has been one of the most interesting shows I've seen, just to let you know this review may already be affected. Here he commits torture on himself by eating at McDonald's, three meals a day, for an entire month. You'd think he could at least go with Burger King, but no. This is a horror movie if I've ever seen one. It's hard enough to eat the same fast food twice in a week, you're too disgusted (I know I am). He does make a lot of strong points, and it is indeed true that a varied or healthy diet and exercise is better than stuffing your face with…

The film you've seen in every health and gym class you have ever taken. Still, a very solid documentary about the dangers and addictions of the fast food industry that is definitely worth a view if you haven't seen it yet.

Super Size Me is what you would call a "sometimes ridiculous" and "sometimes gross" but it's truly inspiring, and very fun to watch, and it also made me think more about what I should eat and how to NOT spend my life as a grown up.

Supersize Me Is an expository documentary from Morgan Spurlock that explores the effect and influence the fast food industry has on society whilst also undergoing a mcdiet that will last 30 days. He must eat a McDonald's meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday during this time and he must eat each option on the menu at least once. Plus any offer of a super size must be accepted by Spurlock.
At first we are introduced to a little song "Kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut, a pizza hut, McDonalds etc." highlighting the fact that little children have been indoctrinated into the evil world that is fast food. This sets up the whole film and Morgan Spurlock's views from…

The movie that made me swear off McDonalds, and eventually fast food completely.

Scary the effect the food has on this guy.

This is a reality show about a man who only eats leaves and mushrooms who decides he wants to eat nicer food and decides to have a maccy d's. He has like three a day and goes super size if they tell him to. Then he gets very poorly because his weak veggie stomach can't handle chicken nuggets. He seems to moan a lot and his wife is a cunt. Then he sicks up in a car park. I reckon I could have done the film and been less soft than him. He does have a nice moustache though. Overall I give it 10/10 because it made me hungry.

It's a dumb experiment but the film's still reasonably entertaining.

A témája érdekelt, de amúgy mint film, egyáltalán nem nagy szám. Lehetne ebből jobb dokumentumfilmet is forgatni.

Funny (and pretty scary) look at what a diet of only McDonald's will do to your body. Morgan Spurlock really commits to this movie and puts his health on the line to show how bad fast food is.
