invisibleunicornninja We had to watch this movie several times at school. Though most of my classmates are too stupid to understand the concept of fast food being unhealthy, this movie is well made and entertaining.

Harrison wallace To be honest, I heard about this film a while back and dismissed it because one the title is ridiculous and two as a kid I felt unstoppable. However, watching the first five minutes in my English class it inspired me to watch it. In the beginning, I felt like he was a arrogant guy trying to defend McDonalds, but as the film progressed he was defending both sides until the end where he looked so uncomfortable he could not tell which side he supported. The best parts of the film I thought were the interviews with strangers and school employees, the three doctors' analysis, and the constant reminder that our children and our selves can seriously be affected or are already affected by this. The parts that I did not like was the reality show theme to it. I felt it was over dramatically placed. Having more people do the diet, I feel that would resonate more. I personally felt there was an overall tone of mockery or something to that extent that really pulled away from the pathos of the story as well as the logos. However, there were to many facts that could not be missed due to the fact of the sheer credibility of some of them. In terms of ethos, I felt biased due to the first impression that I did not trust him, but by the end I at least listened to his other sources. The onslaught of video work, text, and audio work don on this documentary was outstanding. Even though I felt it was a bad film and would not watch it again really shows that the facts in it really make you think about what you eat. It is a good enough film to watch once. More than that maybe not.

Adam Bachman Morgan Spurlock does a great job with directing and acting in this unofficial experiment. I thought that Mr. Spurlock did a great job including some of his daily tasks into the movie to not just show updates of him going to eat McDonalds 3 times a day. I found that there were also a lot of interesting facts about fast food and health in general which added more valuable sustenance to the film and gave some valuable background to the experiment. Even though Spurlock's film was not an official experiment, I thought it would have been more valuable to incorporate more people into the experiment to broaden the effects that fast food has on people who are not middle aged males. I thought that the film was very informative and overall interesting to watch, it managed to keep my attention throughout the movie which is no easy task. Overall the spectrum of the experiment in the movie was not the broadest, however, Spurlock manages to incorporate valuable information and background to enhance the film and make it very interesting to watch.

Leofwine_draca I liked SUPER SIZE ME. It has a satirical, Michael Moore-style vibe going on. As a documentary, this is simple stuff indeed: a guy eats only McDonald's food for an entire month, and suffers the health consequences of his challenge, but it's never dull, never slow, never boring. Instead, the director and star Morgan Spurlock hits you with a barrage of facts, figures, footage, and interviews, leaving you with a story that's disturbing and blackly funny.The story explores America's exploding obesity epidemic, as well as looking at what makes McDonald's food so darned tasty. There's an emphasis on medical facts and figures, which makes this always grounded rather than merely opinionated, and the journey-style narrative lends itself easily to a film format. Did it put me off eating takeaway food? Not particularly, as I try to only do so in moderation anyway. And as we see in SUPER SIZE ME, moderation is something all too lacking these days...
