Boy--I almost posted about this one on the horror board!
Yeah--the horror of watching what a steady diet of nothing but McDonald's food can do to you isn't the same as watching zombies overrun a shopping mall--but it's certainly "food" for thought.
And did anyone else mention that this follows the proud "Mondo" tradition of including a graphic surgery sequence (in this case, an obesity laparatomy)?
Oh, and if that's not enough--you've got to see the McArt on display throughout the movie... everything from Ronald at the Last Supper to Jesus with a Big Mac.
Heck--I could just spell every scene out for you, but this deserves to be seen on its own. Brace yourself--but by all means check it out.

Well, in all fairness, there's a lot more covered in this movie than just what happens to one man over thirty days--there's plenty of juicy material about how junk food is marketed, how it's taking over the school lunch programs, where people try to place the blame for America's health problems... if you don't find any of this interesting, you won't want to bother seeing this, but once you start in, this is one compelling, entertaining movie nonetheless.
