Product Description:
Morgan spurlock unravels the american obesity epidemic by interviewing experts nationwide & subjecting himself to a mcdonalds only diet for 30 days.

Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, rejected five times by the USC film school, won the best director award at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival for this alarmingly personal investigation into the health hazards wreaked by our fast food nation. Under extensive medical supervision, Spurlock subjects himself to a steady diet of McDonald's cuisine for 30 days just to see what happens. In less than a week, his ordinarily fit body and equilibrium undergo dark and ugly changes: Spurlock grows fat, his cholesterol rockets north, his organs take a beating, and he becomes subject to headaches, mood swings, symptoms of addiction, and lessened sexual energy. The gimmick is too obvious to sustain a feature documentary; Spurlock actually spends most of the film probing insidious ways that fast food companies worm their way into school lunchrooms and the hearts of young children who spend hours in McDonald's playrooms. French fries never looked more nauseating. --Tom Keogh

Wow, this movie is a must see for people who don't know that fat is unattractive and bad for their health, McDonald's food is fattening especially if eaten in very large quantities and large corporations like McDonalds don't really care about their customers and are just out to make money! For the rest of us who were fortunate enough to all ready have this knowledge, SUPER SIZE ME really is an unnecessary movie useful perhaps,as a motivator while beginning or in the midst of a healthier eating ...

Manipulative documentary in the vein of the Michael Moore pieces. Sure it has a noble mission, but beyond offering factoids about nutrition and the guy's 30-day weight gain experiment and the type of crap corporate America offering people to eat (nobody is forcing people to eat fries from the caf every day, but how many people really take bagged lunches to work?) it doesn't offer too much. Naturally, the documentary maker's vegetarian girlfriend is given screen time to preach about how wrong it is ... Read More

My wife and I watched the "Super Size Me" DVD last night. It was the third time we watched it and we enjoyed it very much. Let's face it, Fast Food is a major facet of the American Culture. It's everywhere. Within five miles of our house there are "McDonalds" (2), "Jack in the Box"(3), "Karl's Jr." (2), "Wendy's"(2), "Rubio's," "Burger King," "Arby's," "El Polo Loco," "Taco Bell," "KFC," "Subway"(4) and about a half-dozen local Mexican Taco Shops. No matter what road you take, there's fast food readily ... Read More

I thought this documentary was well done, even if the deck was stacked. Yes folks, if you eat fast food for 30 days 3x a day you will become seriously ill. I don't think it is fair to pick on McDonalds, there are many fast food companies and they are all spending lots of dough to get your attention. Growing up, my mother always cooked home made, and I mean nearly from scratch. I attribute that to being healthy, and having an appreciation for home-made spaghetti, beef stroganoff, tacos, fish- twice a week ... Read More

I bought this DVD because I had heard it was really good, and I was certainly not let down! It really opened my eyes as to just how terrible fast food is and what lack of nutritional education is doing to adults and children. I would recommend this film to anyone!
