DVD Synopsis

First-time director Morgan Spurlock takes a look at the subject of obesity in the United States, specifically zeroing in on the business and culture surrounding the nation's fast-food industry in this 2004 documentary. In addition to studying the marketing of fast food to American children and unsuccessfully attempting to gain an interview with McDonald's executives, Spurlock attempts to become one of his own subjects by documenting a one-month binge during which he survived only on items from the McDonald's menu, forcing himself to eat three meals a day and try every offering at least once. Super Size Me premiered at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

This is really a great dvd. it is a real eyeopener about the fast food industry. The dvd shows what happend to one man who eats nothing but McDonald's for 30 days to see if it will have any effect on his health. All of his doctors, himself, and anyone watching the movie were shocked at the results. It is a must see for everyone who eats fast food.

This was a pretty good movie or a really good idea for a movie . I didn't walk away from this movie having learned anything I didn't already know. And if I was overweight or fast food obsessed this movie wouldn't make me think twice.
I will watch this movie again and I'll have my friends watch it.

Even though most of American doesn't eat McDonald's three times a day, this movie still proves many points. What our food has in it is disgusting, and how McD's targets kids with their ads. No wonder we're the fattest nation!
