Morgan Spurlock is a living, breathing cautionary tale. Take a good, long look, kids: This is what happens when society validates really annoying people.
Jessica Reaves, Chicago Tribune

A superficial primer for people who aren't likely to go see it in the first place.

Peter Howell, Toronto Star

Where in the world is Morgan Spurlock's head? Occasionally, during this exasperating and goofy documentary, it seems squarely on his shoulders. Most of the time, however, it's firmly lodged up another part of his anatomy.
Jason McBride, Globe and Mail
