Review of Super Size Me (2004) by Sean C — 29 Nov 2011

Ok let's me come out and say when I first saw this I did not eat fast food for like 3 months or so. This film is shocking (well when it came out). Now this movie is referenced whenever Mc Donald's name is brought up. Well even though many people saw this and noted what it said Mc Donald's are still being built about a year ago I saw one being built next to my work and it had a walmart effect on the stores around it. There was a steak restaurant and a Burger place with in a few building of Mc D. I mean come on is that fair? Well as you know the world is not fair....

After the Mc D's had wiped out the business around it The store stopped having competition and reeked havoc on the profits the people who lived in that area had there choices limited to Mc D's and a BK. After a long day of work me and my fellow workers would want to grab a bite to eat and instead of the best burger place I have ever eaten at was gone. Our reward for a long day of work had been ruined.... So that means after our day was over we would go our separate ways (well not really I was the one who live out of downtown Boston the rest were inner) and just see each other at the next game.

So yea this movie is not hard to come by there are plenty of copies of it around Movie Stop and if you just want to see it for free the Directer wanted the movie just to be seen not in for the profits so what he did to get his message out there was uploaded it on youtube. I was happy to have seen when it came to HBO or some other movie channel. Mc D's got sued over this movie which make me a tad bit conflicted first. Did you think this was enough evidence for the court. Next it is not Mc D's fault if someone constantly goes to MC D's. On the same principles of the Walmart lawyers you are not compelled to go to Mc D's there is not chemicals in the food that makes you have the surge to got back it is just fatty foods. If I only ate Cake three times a day and did not excersize for a month then yea I am sure as hell going to suffer my body would begin to damaging and my organs would be failing from a lack of vitamins....

So if you do not do not know what this movie is aboot then let me fill you in the movie is about a a man who wants to see how harmful Mc D's really is so he gets checked out by multiple Dr. and see how good his health is (really good because of his constant excersize and he does not even eat meat). So the challenge is to eat Mc's food 3 times a day and he is not aloud and excersize also he will be doing this for a month. Having to try everything on the menu this sounds like fun right the Mc' D's ads never suggest the food to be unhealthy it is shown as elegant.

The first day come and he is eating the food in his car and guess what he is liking it not have eaten this stuff in a really long time. The second day comes still feeling pretty good then by the third day he is beginning to feel bad and then throughout the 30 days you see the transformation of the slim man and also you will be surprised with the results from his Doc.

What is shown is really disturbing showing you the way the TV brainwashes children also the role of that creepy clown in there lives. It is scary. I am so happy that I was not raised on that stuff other wise I would be a tad but messed up.....(well more than I am now).

I did not eat a lot of the fast food as a child. I did watch the TV a lot and and fried my brain but it was fun. I would see the Mc' D ads and would be the only one amongst my friends who was unphased. I would continue to sit there and wait for the show to come back on like ED EDD N EDDY to come back on. (man I love that show....).

There really is not an excuse not to see this if you can see it on Youtube..... But yea my last point is this movie has a great flow to it. The movie does not ever get slow I was entertained from start to finish.

Final Verdict: 85% out of 100% I could just copy and paste the 2 fragments above for the final verdict but..... I guess.

There really is not an excuse not to see this if you can see it on Youtube.....
