That's not to say this documentary is as likable as the earlier Spurlock movie.....In particular, the movie is at its best when dealing with his family's tale.....Story continues below But again, it's an interesting story.... ... Full Review

Still, "Super Size Me" is an entertaining and powerful documentary for your calorie-challenged tweens and teenagers.

Super Size Me" was a very enjoyable and quite well documented film, which reached its purpose of informing the viewers about the way huge corporations brainwash customers.
It is an often funny film that helps viewers understand a bit more about Middle East culture, but if you wish to know about serious stuff, such as terrorism, religion, oil or democracy

So little new information and meaningful context are brought to the table in Morgan Spurlock's film that one truly wonders how the director felt comfortable presenting it to the American public as a finished product.

Super Size Me'' is witty, gross, smart, outrageous, and so clever it just about pops.
The movie lays bare the insidiousness of American fast-food culture by feasting on it in big, hungry bites.

Unsportingly, McDonald's have now cancelled their super size policy, denying it is a result of this film, and have launched a counter-attack, ramping up their unconvincing and unattractive "healthy" options and have even taken out ads congratulating Spurlock, presumably through clenched teeth, on how entertaining he's been. ...
