Super Size Me is not a movie actually. It's a documentary, and they rarely belong to big screen. But still, it is created and compiled smartly, so if audience just forgets about the "magic of cinema" and aims to understand the point, try to read between the lines, it will be a lot more successful.
Movie takes a healthy man and makes him eat McDonalds for a month. Now this disturbed me first of all. OK, McDonalds is the leader of fast food, it was the one that was sued, it is the one that everybody knows about... But USA has quite a few fast food chains, is it ethical to blame only one restaurant? After all, the movie only brings some proof to what we already know. Come on. No one needs a nutrition table to understand that all these fast food stuff is dangerous. People are not stupid! OK, some are, but not the majority! Even people who post stupid things to IMDb forums (those we reply like machine gun but they never show up, they mostly swear anyone who likes that movie and then run away)
On the other hand, I am a student in USA for a few months and I have no place to eat some healthy food. Fast food is everywhere! Somebody had to bring this up, and this is serious.
But of course he is taking aim at one of the greatest, most beloved companies in the world, so the war was already lost.
As I said, the Moore style was deep into it: real life, real names, real companies, there is a bad guy (Ronald McDonald), and in the end we do dislike it.
Any fast food lover should watch the movie at least once for education, not entertainment. But here is a small real story I heard from a friend:
"After watching the movie I was leaving cinema. Two black teenagers were behind me and as we left saloon one said "I'm hungry", and the other replied "There is a KFC over there" and they did go to KFC.."
A-, for being realistic, but not objective. Enjoying, interesting, attention grabbing.
