-
By Tom Charity from LOVEFiLMIn this entertaining yet informative documentary, debut director Morgan Spurlock makes himself the victim of a cruel experiment: he puts himself on a 30-day diet of nothing but McDonald's food.

Fast Food Frenzy!!
By Thompsonic from St Albans , 08 Mar 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
I liked this film/documentary. It is thoroughly obvious what the end result will be to anyone who has indulged in fast food. I would imagine that like most vices in this world, it is great at the time, a sense of fulfilment and wellbeing follows and then the inevitable 'come down' from whatever high you were own. Also, all vices are inherently bad for you - that sort of goes with the definition of the word??!!
Unfortunately, due to the fact that this is an American film, that message seems to need explaining throughout. The damage that the guy does to himself is simply amazing as are some of the facts that come out of the experts. The sheer amounts of Fat, sugar and calories that are consumed in your average Macky D are frightening. And that is what you get from this film, facts that deep down you know, but don?t really want to hear. This film could have been about smoking, drugs, extreme sports etc, but he chooses fast food. And boy, do the yanks like their fast food. You hear about 1 guy that has only eaten big macs for the last three years.
It is good, but this really could have been condensed into an hour long documentary. It is filled out far too much to give it movie length status, but I would recommend that you rent this. The changes that happen to this guy, both physically and mentally are amazing!!- Was this review helpful to you?

This Will Change Your Views On Fast Food!
By Sabrina211 (2 reviews) , 02 Feb 2013I watched this when it first came out but watched it again tonight. I was starting to slip on my healthy eating plan, but this has made me more determined to stick to it and I've just picked up a bottle of water instead of the coke i was planning on getting =) This film conveys an important message to the people of the world that fast food conglomerates are all about the money and they don't care how many lives they take as long as they get your money first.- Was this review helpful to you?

Well worth a watch!
By a customer , 02 Feb 2013Clearly a lot of research went into making this documentary and im glad that his health is taken into consideration at all times. I had a Mcdonalds the other day and actually thought about when I watched this so much that it put me off eating it. Obviously fast food is ok but only in limited amounts I dont know anyone who could eat it on a daily basis and enjoy it. Also liked at the end how it told you about how everyone was doing that you follow throughout the documentary as I found myself wanting to know if he got his body back to normal after the excessive eating. A lot of interesting facts and definately an eye-opener. Well worth a watch!- Was this review helpful to you?
