Review of Fast Food Nation (2006) by Swan — 26 Aug 2007

I can't believe I paid $4.71 at Blockbuster to rent this excuse for a movie. And I can't believe I watched the entire thing. Nothing in this movie felt seemless. Most of the storylines are left completely undone--in an annoying way, not a contently ponderous one.

(Did Raul take the meth? Did the cows ever get out of the fence?) There are just too many things going on. What's-her-face decides to be an "individual", but all she really becomes is part of the whiny hippy crowd with squeaky-voiced Avril Lavigne who recites the obvious complaints about the powers that be.

Redundant, boring. Every scene was too long and I absolutely hated the soundtrack. Also, why was the focus on MANEUR in the burgers the whole time? There are so many other thing wrong with factory farming.

I feel like the bloody scene at the end was supposed to make up for lack of story in an "artsy" way. Instead, it ended up being irrelevant except for the gag reflex. Overall, I hated this movie and I want a refund.

Then, I want to give my refund to Morgan Spurlock, who truly deserves it.
