'There's shit in our burgers' and 'that's why they're only 99 cents' are just two lines from this film. it should be watched by everyone. I personally won't be going anywhere near a fast food place ever again.

I am reading the book and I thought that watching the film will illustrate even better the ideas written in it.
Great cast rubbish film,ive never been so bored watching a movie in my whole life. At best it just made me feel hungry only when i had the strength to keep my eyes open mind you. It was supposed to be hard hitting lifting lid on what really happens behide close doors of the fast food industry,but the film was scatty and all over the place,and some of the acting was just terrible. And yes i have read the book. So unless you are clinically insane or a insomniac my advice is to avold this movie at all cost and go and have a cheese burger instead.
I have spoken to people who have read the book and said it has changed the way they eat forever but the movie definitely doesn't match up to the high expectation I held.. It's directed in a movie format, whereas I was expecting more of a 'supersize me' documentary style, which would have been more appropriate and informative.. I can't help but feel this holds back on the true realities of fast food (although it does contain some dreadful scenes of cattle being slaughtered at the end).
I've read the book and it confirmed my suspicions about what we've all been eating and I recomend that everybody should read the book and at least watch this film. The film isn't as hard hitting as the book, as the information is brought to us through the eyes of several characters, who are based on people that Eric Schlosser interviewed for his book. The fast food industry is seen through the eyes of several people from the Mexican illegal immigrants who work in the slaughterhouses and burger-flipping high school students to the corporate marketing man sent to investigate the source of their meat-patties. If you care about what you eat and society please, please, please watch this film and read the book, but don't expect this to be an easy film to watch because it isn't. The last scene made me cry, not just for the beef cattle but for those people who don't have the same choices as us and as a result their lives have the same value as the beef cattle.Read full review
