A good movie

Obviously, I had heard about this flick but, somehow, it took me a very long time to finally watch it. Anyway, it definitely deserves its reputation and I thought it was quite enjoyable. The funny thing is that, now, my stomach feels weird but, to be honest, I might have felt this way already before watching this flick so maybe we shouldn't be too quick to blame McDonald's. What sure is that is the whole thing looked pretty disgusting. I remember, when I was a kid, I really loved McDonald's and, at the time in France, there were not many of them and I was thrilled when they finally opened one in my hometown. Flashforward 20 years later and I think there are now about 5 of them (still, compare to the insane number of those restaurants in the US, it is not that much). Nowadays, it makes me rather indifferent, my wife really hates it so I go maybe once a month because my kids love it. The most interesting thing about this documentary was above all the pressure those fast food chains put on the customers. I mean, in Europe (at least in France and in the Netherlands), those fast food restaurants are seen like a commodity, something you use once in a while because it's easy but almost nobody goes there 3 or 4 times a week. A part from that, it is a fun picture and Morgan Spurlock is an entertaining narrator but the concept was rather limited after all and you pretty much know the outcome from the start. To conclude, I thought it was a decent documentary and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
