This film may be a documentary, but, to many it came off as a “shock-u-mentary!” This film is about the director, Morgan Spurlock, who decides to find out what terrible consequences face him while he eats nothing but McDonald's for three meals a day, for a whole month. The negative results are expected. Though the extent of the damage doesn't fail to disturb the audience. This health endangering stunt was an opportunity to spotlight America's struggle with obesity and an attack on fast food companies and their marketing ideas and plans. In one scene he showed a bunch of kids some pictures of famous people and TV characters (this included Jesus) and asks them who they are, one child thought that Jesus was George W. Bush, but every single child knew exactly who Ronald McDonald was. Every single time you watch Morgan gulp down another Big Mac, you can feel yourself getting sicker and sicker. If you need just a little extra incentive to keep you away from the drive-troughs at any fast-food joints, this movie is for you; I myself have been thinking twice about ever getting fast food since I've seen it.
