The film documents the process from beginning to end, with Spurlock and his doctors making observations and monitoring the changes to his energy level, moods, liver and kidney function, and obviously his weight. As viewers might predict, Spurlock gains weight at an alarming rate, and during this process he offers a shocking lesson about the serious problem of obesity in America. Clearly McDonald's receives the brunt of the blame, as Spurlock shows how the fast-food restaurant directs its advertising at small children, who are converted into faithful consumers of the brand--and its free toy giveaways, bright colors, and Ronald McDonald clown--for life.

I'd Like a Super Sized Extra Value Meal and a Barf Bag, Please

Rating of 3 out of 5.0 Written By Bryan_Carey on Sat Jan 01 14:30:08 EST 2005

Pros: Funny moments; Good as a public service documentary.
Cons: Non- scientific; Contrived; Biased; Some ignorance.
Bottom Line: This is a good documentary overall, but it does have some pitfalls and it is very anti- McDonald's..
