Like we really needed a movie to tell us that fast food is wretched stuff. That said, I'm a vegan and therefore biased against the fast food industry anyway, but I really did enjoy this film. It isn't really revolutionary, of course, but Spurlock is a fairly entertaining guy and the movie itself is fun.
The best parts aren't really related to Spurlock's crazy attempt--the globalization of McDonald's and other fast food companies, the childhood obesity epidemic, etc, are the most entertaining and educational. Spurlock is a lot more approachable than Moore has become--whether or not you like the man, you can't deny that he comes off as pretentious.
The film definitely could have gone more in-depth, but all in all it's worth a look. And while you may not enjoy Supersize Me as much as some have, anybody who gets really angry about the content might just see a little too much of him/herself in it.
