DVD Review - Supersize Me!
And I thought Fahrenheit was mandatory
viewing!
Supersize Me is the absolute,
number one, required viewing movie for this day and age. Once you view it, it
will reshape the way you think about the food you eat. Or you'll quickly forget
about it after the movie ends, roll up on a Mickey D's and order that Big Mac
meal. Either way it's not the worst way to spend 98 minutes of your
life.
I'm sure most of you are aware
that the movie follows one Morgan Spurlock as he embarks on thirty days of
eating nothing but McDonald's food with some simple ground rules, including he
will supersize a value meal if they ask, he will eat only foods on the
McDonald's menu for the entire 30 days and he will try everything on the menu at
least once. I won't reveal the results but I will reveal that they are far worse
than the doctors predict at the beginning of the
month.
Bonus features include an
experiment on how long it takes for McDonalds food to break down and a goofy
elderly couple that has spent $30,000 collecting McDonalds related memorabilia,
among other deleted scenes and
interviews.
ECP says, watch it with the
entire family, including the kids. ESPECIALLY the kids.
