Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 email this film to a friend Super Size Me Morgan Spurlock USA, 2004, 98 minutes, COLOR film's website Appearing In-Person: Morgan Spurlock, Director What would happen if you ate nothing but fast food for an entire month? In Super Size Me, a scathingly tongue-in-cheek documentary of epic “portions,” filmmaker Morgan Spurlock does just that and embarks on the most perilous journey of his life. The rules: For 30 days he can’t eat or drink anything that isn’t on the McDonald’s menu; he must eat three meals a day; he must consume everything on the menu at least once; and he must super size his meals if asked. Spurlock treks across the country interviewing a host of experts on fast food and an equal number of regular folk while chowing down at the Golden Arches™. This enthralling film reveals that McDonald’s spends 1.4 billion dollars a year on advertising. What they don’t do is return calls from pestering filmmakers. Spurlock’s grueling drive-through diet spirals him into a harrowing physical and emotional metamorphosis that will make you think twice about picking up another Big Mac™. A fascinating and truly alarming film peppered with irreverent music and hilarious graphics, Super Size Me chomps into the legal, financial, and physical costs of America’s hunger for fast food. —David Courier, 2004 Sundance Film FestivalFollowed by a party with live band and dancing, featuring Jose Finn Entertainer and Vintage Vocal Group in a Motown Stage Revue, Kili's Kafe and Lounge, $15.00.Closing night sponsor: D.C.
