Greatest Movie Ever Sold
and Super Size Me
Dir. Morgan Spurlock
65-66/300
In concept, Best Movie Ever Sold is genius. Make a movie about product placement funded entirely by products. The only trouble becomes the honesty that's lost, but at the same time, that's the point. It just felt like there was somethign lost in the loop that the filmmaker was aiming to prove. But over-all it seemed that the point was balance. Money is always good for a film, but sometimes your movie will be compromised by it.
Otherwise, this movie was much more comical and light-hearted than Super Size Me. Although, the subject matter was a little less life changing. In Super Size Me, he actually put his life at risk through the extreme diet that some really actually partake in regularly. So, I guess I'd say that Super Size me was more effective in it's delivery, but really it was taking a much more one sided approach to a topic.
But in both films, I really enjoyed the ironic humor that he brings to the table. So, if your film diet is in need of some documentaries, but don't want to lose the entertainment value, check out Best Movie Ever Sold.
