ReviewsTime Out - A robust and amusing reminder of how Hollywood's tills are topped up by third-party brands and what they get - and we lose - in return., Rolling Stone - Spurlock says he's not selling out, he's buying in. I'm buying into Spurlock. As ever, he makes you laugh till it hurts., USA Today - Spurlock comes off like a new and improved Everyman, familiar but smarter and funnier than the average Joe., Guardian - Before this, I hadn't grasped that the notion of "product placement" is in fact passΘ; now it's all about "co-promotion".
