As I mentioned in my review of Fast Food Nation, I was having a McDonald’s craving the whole time I was watching this movie. The movie promotes the idea that McDonald’s is addictive, and I guess my craving would be evidence for that.
For those who don’t know the premise, Morgan Spurlock eats nothing but McDonald’s for 30 days straight, just to see what will happen to him. What happens is that his health goes south very quickly and reaches a point that doctors suggest is quite dangerous.
Morgan unabashedly hits McDonald’s from all sides with art, humor, statistics, interns, his vegan girlfriend, and a small army of doctors and other experts. The DVD special feature involving the magically non-rotting fries is highly amusing, if obviously aimed at getting you to associate McDonald’s food with mold, slime, and other forms of inedible disgustingness.
