Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

justin iredale Not all parents can manage keeping themselves on a healthy diet with daily exercise. What they bring to the table won't create a healthy life style for them or their children especially if they get used to it, then food like McDonald's is no longer a treat. Tom Naughton from Fat Head has tried low fat diets such as Pritikin until proved unhealthy when founder Nathan Pritikin died from Leukemia as a result. Naughton claims that low fat diets are depressing, since most of the brain is composed of fat, saturated fats are necessary to make the brain happy. But Naughton speaks from personal experience. Tom is also a father his film isn't focused on childhood obesity, but as a parent should Naughton be concerned by the epidemic. While many parents are suing McDonald's over childhood obesity, Naughton support McDonald's side instead by attacking Super-Size Me.Naughton enjoys fast-food, consider obese by the government's BMI standards, but exercises every day; so he says. Based off the current McDonald's nutrition facts, Tom Naughton claims that Morgan Spurlock calorie count from Super-Size Me made years before this movie was wrong. So without seeing the Spurlock's official food log, Naught tries to prove that fast food doesn't make you gain weight with exercise by going on an all fast food diet despite his doctor's advice, but doesn't clarify if his diet will be a month long like Spurlock's. Tom Naughton is just a computer programmer, part time comedian, who has only made this documentary, and most importantly Naughton is a parent. Whereas award winning documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock has made over fifty documentaries and was not a parent at time of his movie; I know Naughton's looking for a challenge, but when he said if Spurlock stayed on the McDonald's diet he would have lost the weight from Super-Size Me faster than the four months he was on a vegan diet, Spurlock overshadowed him. If McDonald's is the reason Spurlock gained that weight in the first place, why would more McDonald's be the solution? Above all Tom Naughton is in support of something that does cause obesity on daily basis, but Naughton is no Ronald McDonald restaurant mascot, he's a parent who brings the food straight to the table. Instead of making this film, Naughton should've focused his "baloney" on his own kids to see where that takes him.

mplsmark-569-844163 This 'documentary' is not worthwhile. It's not funny or informative, or even enjoyable as a snide rebuttal to Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me. While both are ham-fisted and over-the-top at least Spurlock's was well produced.Naughton invokes a few straw men and takes poorly aimed shots. Initially he makes the point that maybe calories are more important than fat content, etc. in a reference to Spurlock eating 5000 calories a day. Daily intake of calories has been the yardstick of nutrition for about a century. One of the slides has the words 'rabid vegetarianism' which doesn't apply to Spurlock (he's not a vegetarian) or really anyone making the case that too many calories is bad.Tom Naughton is a comedian? He has no charisma, timing, or humor. He said something like 'I waited outside a McDonald's to see if someone would drag me in and force me to eat fast food. NO ONE DID.' Hurrr. Derp. The 'original music' in this film was funny, but not intentionally. It fit the rest of the production.

improv_darren A great movie that proves that we should all be skeptical of what 'experts' tell us and especially skeptical of what documentary filmmakers tell us. I never saw Super Size Me, but I know all too well what its conclusions were. Our media gobbled up SSM as gospel now its conclusions are part of our "conventional wisdom".This movie does a great job of reminding us to use our brains and think for ourselves. These facts alone (revealed in Fat Head) should make you question Spurlock's conclusions: - To this day Spurlock still refuses to disclose his food diary - The movie was backed by a lawyer who's suing McDonald's for billions - Spurlock's numbers of 5,000 calories a day don't add upThe movie may be a little corny and a little heavy-handed in its approach, but as believer in personal responsibility I feel it hits the mark.

mycotropic-1-481744 I'll click "contains spoilers" because the movie is a load of garbage (from the perspective of science) so pointing that out will probably spoil if for you. Sorry.I agree wholeheartedly with the other reviewer; this is the worst example of biased junk science I've seen in quite a while. Not a single person actually working in research related to diet is involved in this movie in any way. ALL of the "experts" are diet gurus hawking their books (most of which also misuse the literature). As an "expert" is introduced it is always with the cover of their book prominently displayed. The film maker apparently doesn't know what "peer review" means. There are many experts that could address his pithy little comments but they are probably off doing actual science.Sprinkled throughout this movie are weird tangents hinting at an Ayn Rand-esque philosophy. The film maker completely ignores the behavioral science literature showing connections between advertising and education level and social position and making poor personal choices in health care decisions. He spends quite a lot of time standing outside fast food restaurants waiting to be "forced to eat their food" in an attempt to show that personal responsibility is the ONLY thing effecting obesity in our country. But he's a comedian with a camera and I guess he thought that those scenes would sound the death knell for... oh who knows, it's just ridiculous.Also increasing HDL by increasing lipid consumption happens at the cost of increased triglycerides which are pro-atherogenic. If he'd read any actual science he might have known that. He certainly didn't mention his triglyceride levels which are part of the lipid panel his doctor discussed.All of that said; "Supersize Me" also had huge problems from the perspective of his thesis compared to what he actually did. Both of these movies are comedies in my opinion, unfortunately they're popular comedies that some people take seriously.
