I had a report to do on childhood obesity, and I could use this documentary as one of my resources. May I say that I was glad that I watched this film. It is very terrifying what the fast food... Full review

When I first heard about Morgan Spurlock's 2004 documentary "Super Size Me", I was pretty jaded, because common sense would dictate that if one eats fast food, they are going to have weight and health issues. Indeed, this is what... Full review

Super Size Me is a great documentary. Enlightening and informative, it uncovers the fast food industry's conspiracy, that it's not about the people they serve, but its about the money we give them. They manufacture and process foods so that... Full review

"Supersize Me" is an original, humorous, disgusting, shocking, and -- overall -- scary film. Spurlock takes us on a whirlwind tour of the downfall of American health through poor nutrition, padding a lot of information with anecdotal footage of his... Full review

Fast food is good. I freely admit to running through fast food drive-thrus (Wendy's, Taco Bell and McDonald's being my top 3) often, sometimes several times a week. And I'm not the only one. I'm also one of the many... Full review

If the goal of a documentary film is to educate or enlighten its audience, then Super Size Me is a resounding success in every sense of the word. Following the screening of Morgan Spurlock's fantastic "Super Size Me", there were movie critics and press folks standing around and talking about the lessons we'd learned, and (more importantly) the brilliantly breezy way in which we'd been educated. ...

This is not to say that Super Size Me is not a good documentary in exposing the detrimental effects of fast-food. Ever since the 2004 release of Super Size Me , Morgan Spurlock has been treated by the commercial press as a kinder-and-gentler version of Michael Moore: thinner, younger, and more personablewith a gorgeous vegan chef, Alex Jamieson, as his accomplice. ...

The Cinema Source
Luckily, Super Size Me is just as enjoyable as it is important. The main reason the movie works is the pleasant and amiable nature of its writer, director and star Morgan Spurlock . ... Full Review

A great film on its own, "Super Size Me" is even better after the film-to-disc tune-up. The DVD release of "Super Size Me" hasn't really been given special treatment, but the filmmakers show they care about the audience by setting aside the time to document new interviews and create amusing bonus material that you shouldn't come to expect from a documentary release. ...

Channel 4 Film
But the extreme result, as well as the myriad facts, figures, arguments and bleakly humorous asides, make Super Size Me compelling viewing. It's somewhat dense, but it sets the scene in a no nonsense way. ... Full Review
