Super Size Me, a review by addicted2comics

The Plot: While examining the influence of the fast food industry, Morgan Spurlock personally explores the consequences on his health of a diet of solely McDonald's food for one month.

My Thoughts: I had to watch this a couple years ago for science class, then again last year for health class. It grossed me out back then.  It grosses me out now!!

The movie tells the truth. Fast food is making people fat, with additives that addict people to the stuff, and businesses don't care because they're making money. They get to kids so they're familiar with the characters and grow up to eat there all the more as adults. The results? Umm.....disgustingness shown, like obesity so severe you need surgery to come back from it. (and yes, they show the surgery, inside the body in full color and all!)

The truth is, this is one of my favorite movies to watch. It speaks the truth and its got kickin music and paintings. But I also lose my appetite every time I see it, so it's, like, impossible for me to accurately rate it. Though, I definitely recommend it. If you're into fun documentaries with a huge gross-out factor, this is made for you.

Quick tidbit, 6 weeks after the movie came out, McDonald's completely got rid of the "Super Size" option. They claimed that decision had nothing to do with the movie.

This is a great series. I always enjoyed watching it. Between the first and second episode there was a cast change. The actor playing DJ changed. Also in these early episodes you can see a young George Clooney as Roseanne's boss.
I am still not used to Roseanne's original voice. It is very annoying. I grew up with the German dub.
