Bojack H Morgan Spurlock was an ideologically driven liar and a pervasive alcoholic. Supersize me was a ridiculous lie, as we all have come to learn. This film absolutely destroyed Spurlock's falsehoods in a very entertaining way. I enjoyed the film quite a bit. You won't like it if you're a vegan and/or an idiot who doesn't like facts. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Audience Member I've twice tried to make it through this film, but both times lost interest after having to endure the sound of the filmmaker's whining for about 45min.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member 3/10 this comedian is a fucking retard Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member I genuinely couldn't finish this movie. I kept checking to see how much more I had left. Not only is the production terrible (I'm talking lower budget than Tim and Eric great job-type stuff--bad graphics, often not filling the whole frame, bad music and random sound effects, slapstick humor, the same clip art over and over, strange skits?!, obnoxious repetitive vocabulary, the same cadence for every sentence in the V.O.), the content has a lot of issues too. There are a ton of logical fallacies--straw men, inconsistency, no true Scotsman, red herrings, etc. The movie perpetuates some myths (the only one that comes to mind is sugar rushes/crashes). The ideology gets in the way of its core message. It probably even lines up with my ideology for the most part, but the film maker is just so damn annoying, I couldn't take it. The people he debunks in the film are ass holes, but he's an ass hole too, and it doesn't make me want to keep watching. But I stuck it out 2/3 of the way through because I really enjoyed the heart of the content--all of the science and math behind this! Those "segments" are VERY well done. But so much could have been cut out of this. I only made it a bit less than 2/3 of the way through. This could have been really, really good if they had invested more time or review of the final product by someone who watches movies! It's just VERY difficult to watch. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member (For maximum enjoyment of this brilliant review, having seen Super Size me is recommended.) You could call Fat Head a response documentary for Super Size Me. It criticized the holes in Spurlock's arguments and exploited why Spurlock's experiment does not work. A sarcastic and straightforward documentary about the truth of fast food. Tom Naughton, a very critical and satirical person, proceeds to tell his audience why we shouldn't believe everything we told. Fat Head was definitely very amusing and very informative. Fat Head shows a more realistic point of view on fast food chains. Naughton easily pointed out how many of the claims in Super Size Me do not work. This effectively makes the audience revise their opinion on Super Size Me and fast-food chains in restaurants. Personally, I only realized there were many factors that were conveniently not discussed in Super Size Me after watching Fat Head. Naughton also shows his audience that many of the claims in Super Size Me were greatly exaggerated. Fat Head also explains how we truly become fat. Not only does that prove that McDonald's couldn't be blamed for obesity, but also that Super Size Me had not given its audience the full truth. It helped its audience understand why exactly fatty food, like McDonald's, is not necessarily the main cause for obesity, coronary heart disease, diabetes, etc. Fat Head is definitely recommended to those who have any desire to learn something new about fast food, health in general and why Super Size Me is an unreliable source of information.
