Super Size Me (DVD) Reviews

A film of EPIC proportions. Before I start this review I must just firstly say that I like McDonalds, I would probably go so far as to say that I love McDonalds. Sometimes a Big Mac, fries and an diet coke is all that will hit the spot, but only once in a while and certainly not every day, not even every month but unfortunately some ...  Read the complete review

note: also appears in part on Flixster and The Student Room It's common sense that eating McDonalds thrice a day for a month isn't going to do you any good, but documentarian Morgan Spurlock allows us to observe the horrifying extent to which this is true, not just with the physical symptomps, but the psychological and physiological ...  Read the complete review

It should come as little surprise to hear the overarching message of this documentary: McDonalds is unhealthy. Inspired by the news story of two children sueing the company over their weight problems, Morgan Spurlock charts the shocking effects on his body of eating nothing but McDonalds foods for one whole month. The documentary is a ...  Read the complete review

Supersize Me is a documentary about MacDonalds and the effects it can have on your health. Morgan Spurlock intended to ask the question, why is America so fat? He set out to answer this question by eating nothing apart from MacDonalds for breakfast, lunch and dinner for an entire month! (Why he would want to do this is beyond me!). He ...  Read the complete review

Having now seen this film 3 times at different times, I am still a little undecided on whether it is good or not. The film does tend to target a particular fast food retailer in particular with golden arches but I am sure there would be a similar result if other outlets were used (corporate or local). You watch with interest the obvious ...  Read the complete review

For anyone contemplating a visit to a fast food restaurant and in particular either McDonalds or Burger King then my advice is to watch this movie first because then you will never set foot in one of these awful places again. This is a documentary style film which follows a month in the life of New York journalist and film maker Morgan ...  Read the complete review

Fancy a Big Mac? Not if you watch this you won't. In 2003, Morgan Spurlock decided to spend 30 days eating nothing but food from MacDonald's. Spurlock was prompted to start his documentary by the case of two teenagers who sued MacDonald's because - shock, horror - they had put on weight eating their food. He wanted to see what effect it had on his ...  Read the complete review

I'd been curious about this film since I 1st heard about it when it entered cinema's. Initially it didn't interest me and I didn't want to go and see it. I was curious but I wasn't going to pay cinema prices to watch it. I had the same kind of feelings when it became available on DVD and video, but finally I got my chance to see it when it was ...  Read the complete review

I saw this film a while ago, and have since watched it again. It is a rather shocking film but quite hilarious. However, the film does have educational and informative roots considering it is about diet mainly and the effects of junk food on the body. One man decides to go on a diet - a diet purely from McDonalds. No doubt, this is ...  Read the complete review

My sister and I have been wanting to watch this film for a while now, not because we eat junk food a lot, but just out of morbid curiosity really! So when I saw this on amazon at the price of just £2.78, I brought it. I didn't think it would be something that you need to concentrate on watching, so I put it on in the background while I was ...  Read the complete review

Super Size Me is a documentary of one producer's attempt to eat just McDonalds for one month and see what would happen to his health. The producer is Morgan Spurlock, the man who until then was better known for his "I Bet You Will" show produced for MTV, in which he dared random members of the public to perform vile and nasty ...  Read the complete review

People are going to fall into one of two camps when it comes to Super Size Me: you'll either think that first time film-maker Morgan Spurlock is a loony or you'll be filled with admiration. Falling into the latter as someone whose attitude to the fast food industry is unreservedly negative, I found his film witty, entertaining and refreshing. But, ...  Read the complete review

McDonalds or Burger King… that is about as much thought I put into the decision of fast food, im not one to sit around and think about the sugar content, the E numbers and whether or not one chip too many will send me wappy (im there already, I don’t need any help). The other ultimate decision being whether or not I want a large meal or ...  Read the complete review

‘Super Size Me’ is an interesting documentary showing the effects of today’s desire for fast-food on the body and, indeed, the mind. The premise is simple: a man decides to eat nothing (and that means NOTHING) a part from McDonalds for one month, and live like the average American. Now, I am partial to a McDonalds. I don’t particularly like ...  Read the complete review

Super Size Me is another of those documentaries of 2004, which seemed to be very anti American in its message. This particular movie follows the movements of Morgan Spurlock in his 30 day quest to eat McDonald’s for breakfast, lunch and dinner for a straight 30 days. The movie comes on the back of two teenage girls in the USA in typical ...  Read the complete review

Morgan Spurlock's documentary, or perhaps you'd call it a bit of journalism, has become . He decides to eat all his meals at McDonalds for a whole month.
