    This documentary never really builds up any drive. Spurlock makes his point very early in the film, and then repeats it over and over. He also jumps on the product-placement bandwagon himself, seemingly endorsing both the good and the bad. I was hoping for a more critical eye to the subject matter, like he showed in Super-Size Me. Still, Morgan is a charismatic chap who can talk endlessly and still amuse me, at least a little.

    Always interesting to watch Spurlock talk. He is brilliant at times in his pitch to execs. The movie he is pitching is for all intents and purposes, a hoax. He knows it. They know it. Still they back it with big bucks. He is that good at getting what he wants. The movie is what it is...kind of pointless. But with Spurlock, it is interesting.

    Even though I liked it the movie never seemed to get off the ground. It was more like a movie about making this movie, but Spurlock is very sharp and funny and worth the time.
