Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
A deliciously amusing socio-culinary prank.
90
Film Threat - Unnamed
Hilarious and often terrifying look at the effects of fast food on the human body.
88
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
It’s one of the blackest comedies to hit the screen since Dr. Strangelove. Spurlock proves himself a supersize talent; he makes you choke on every laugh.
88
Chicago Tribune - Mark Caro
The movie is zippy, laugh-out-loud funny, persuasive and at times horrifying, as Spurlock undergoes his unpleasant changes with good humor and bad tummy aches.
80
Village Voice - Dennis Lim
Sometimes exerts the gross-out fascination of reality TV's muckier specimens--its arc suggests a slow-motion "Fear Factor," or "Extreme Makeover" in reverse.
