Sets things out as a typical cheap documentary on weight and diet.Quickly becomes a confusing watch full of notorious quack doctors, a mysteriously body-conscious presenter, and lovely 'naturopathic' propaganda to combat the veggie 'propaganda' the documentary criticises and parodies.One plus- it's a great example of misinterpretation, anecdotal BS and all kinds of bias! As soon as he begins trying to 'tackle' the world's best medical consensus like calorie deficit=weight loss, saturated fat/cholesterol= high bad cholesterol/atherosclerosis and insulin intake (via insulin genic foods like animals)= impaired weight loss. Then he does experiments with raw numbers that clearly prove medical consensus and disprove the presenter's BS (if you ignore the clueless opinions he wraps the numbers in).

Congratulations Tom Naughton! You just led everyone whom has watched your documentary to believe that Fast Food is "OK"! I feel sorry for anyone without a sense of knowledge about nutrition and watched this show, taking away 'any' information from it.Not to say that I cant agree with certain information that is in the show, but you have to dig through with a fine tooth comb to grab what is useful. I'll face it any day of the week, Facts are strictly Facts. But when you only cut skin deep, the message here is land-slided that it its OK to eat Fast Food.Here's some useful facts for everyone. Calories-in vs. Calories-out = weight loss. Portion control with properly balanced macro-nutrients will result in a healthier lifestyle. And be prepared to increase your chances of "earlier death, cancer, heart disease, etc." or all of the above when you consume Processed foods, refined foods, enriched foods, or pesticides. Exercise or not.I like how he even mentions that Mexicans and African Americans are "genetically" predisposed to have higher BMI's... Its the American cultural diets that "genetically predispose" an individuals outcome. "How come African-Americans in Africa don't look like the African-Americans in America?" "Would a group of Obese Mexicans from America still be obese if they moved and lived in France for the rest of their lives?" (the answer is NO! Because it would be just plain silly to ship processed, fried, and refined foods from America) What a joke this documentary is... "waste of time and space"

There are a lot of things I could have liked about this movie, such as the silly humor of it. I was even excited that someone was motivated enough to propose a response to Supersize Me, unfortunately, this film doesn't do it. The key difference between Fathead and Supersize Me, was a background in social sciences. If the idea was to show that there was a compelling deficiency in Spurlock's theory, an equally compelling argument is not, "I have a brain," that's a logical fallacy called reductio ad absurdam - reduction to the absurd. This is no documentary, it's a comedy - if it was science, the film maker would have been motivated to repeat the experiment to document any changes in his findings from the original study. Instead, the film maker changed all of the original variables to give him a very predictable outcome and he is left with about %90 of empirical and biased data forming the overall structure of this comedy; what's funny about it is how it pretends to be scientific yet has absolutely no scientific merit whatsoever.

This movie really got under my skin. The narrator is a nasal little man who sets up straw men before he blatantly topples them with public interviews. The first 1/3 of the movie takes a "talking down to the viewer" approach in my opinion, and the guy spends way to much time heaping vitriol on Morgan Spurlock and the government. I stopped watching it twice, but picked it up days later and am glad I finished it.If you can bear the low budget filmmaking, the irritating narrator, and the assault of massive political bias, and trombone sounds every time they show the white house, there is some value in this film. Eventually the film goes from Spurlock hatefest to explaining the obesity epidemic in a way most people probably aren't familiar with. If this movie were better made with a less snarky and biased narrator, it would be a strong 9 IMHO.The film explains that fat is good, cholesterol isn't the devil we have been told, carb overload is the devil, and the the government has actively championed a diet that is literally killing us. I have read this information before scattered about the web, but the film does a good job of making it accessible in between pot shots at the government, researchers, and anyone who isn't a fan of Fox News.In conclusion, I wouldn't miss this film for the information you get in the last 1/2 or 2/3, but the guy did everything in his power to make it hard to watch if you have a brain.
