Super Size Me is a documentary on McDonald's food's effect on the human body. A man decides to eat McDonalds for each meal everyday for 30 days. Needless to say, this fucks him up. He has 3 different doctors to monitor his changes and he records everything with a camera. Also, he has a few rules, one being that if the workers ask him if he wants to "Super Size That", he has to. The first time he gets a supersized meal, it takes him about 30 minutes of pure eating and he it all up in the end. Of course, by the end of the 30 days, he is fatter (by 25 pounds), but what the doctors didn't expect was all the other problems his body got; such as kidney problems and high blood pressure. It was entertaining, it wasn't the greatest documentary, but it's probably as good as it gets as far as a movie on that simple idea goes.
3 1/2 stars
