Super Size Me
Super Size Me (2004), Morgan Spurlock:
By now, you know the story. Man eats McDonalds, man gets fat, McDonalds is bad for you. It's funny and as compelling as it should be, but you see Michael Moore's influence on Mr. Spurlock. Unfortunately he picks up a few of his bad habits without as much as his flair. I'm not sure you need to document your failed attempts to interview a McDonalds representative. I'm sure I wouldn't get an interview either. He does a good job of rebutting the idea of personal responsibility, that the deck is heavily stacked against those who don't have the time or money to eat healthy. Without the arsenal of Mr. Moore or the muck of Fast Food Nation, it's entertaining but ultimately insignificant.
8/15
