Super Size Me" is an amusing, funny, hilarious and brilliant documentary in which the film producer is the main subject. The movie deals with the fast food mania in America.

Mr. Spurlock was inspired by the lawsuits filed against McDonald by two overweight girls. He decided to make himself as guinea pig and run an experiment to find out what happens if he eats just McDonald fast food for breakfast, lunch and dinner continuously for 30 days. Under the supervision of a cardiologist, a gastroentrologist and general practitioner and a nutritionist to monitor him, he started eating everything on the McDonald's menu and if an employee asks him " Super Size" anything he will say " Yes".

After a few days his blood pressure and cholesterol level went up sky high, he had liver damage, he was getting headaches and depression and he gained 25 pounds and suffered chest pains. According to his girl friend there was sexual side effects also, she said he was a hot lover, and now he is tired all the time.

Mr.Spurlock also covered basis like the typical lunch program in the public school, consumer trends about the food habits as well as the plans of some food related industries to utilize various data to increase profitability. Corporations like McDonald never gave any serious attention to the ethical responsibility in mass marketing their products with all kind of gimmicks like free toys for the kids, scratch and win tickets (which had its own flaws), etc.

Within the last few years Mcdonald had been sued many times for various reasons like false advertising, selling unhealthy food, torturing animals and using animal fats in their "Vegetarian Fries". McDonald settled some of the cases out of court without admitting their fault. The link between fast food and obesity had been established a long time ago and the consumption of fast food is a major reason for so many overweight children. Today obesity is the biggest health problem in America.

"SuperSize Me " was a smash hit at this year's Sundance Film Festival in January. After the festival, the movie got considerable attention from the public. Mr. Spurlock's brilliant and daring personality and nifty film making techniques made this movie a success. Definitely movie has created a fear factor in the public. McDonald had dumped " Super Size " option and introduced an adult happy meal in their menu, a day before this movie opened nationally.

Movie has a valid point," Junk food is not good for your health " and "What you eat is, what you are". Everyone should see this movie, just to realize health hazards of fast foods. After seeing the film you might not learn a lesson but you will get a " McThought" before you eat some "McJunk".

.We rate this film Very Good.
