Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Excellent but underrated film

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

When you see something really-really yummy to eat (Mmm! Mmm!) - Are your eyes bigger than your stomach? According to this 2008 documentary - America is, literally, going to fat. And, by the looks of it - It ain't a pretty picture."Killer At Large" tells the somewhat convoluted, the sometimes contradictory, and the often-times condescending story of the mighty shaky politics of American fast-food addiction.One of the main concerns here has to do with the influential snack-food industry who are deliberately encouraging and manipulating the easily-seduced public (especially the kids) to fill their faces with junk-food.IMO - This "health-concern" presentation had its good moments, as well as its not-so-good moments, too.*Note* - It really killed me that some of the "informed" health experts who were interviewed here (and were adamantly complaining about the horrors of America's obesity epidemic) were, in fact, quite over-weight themselves.

Why do we continue to take on the responsibility of parents? The real documentary is asking the question why parents allow their kids to go to school and eat junk. Let's explore the trend of parents to shirk responsibility. The number one role of a parent is to feed and shelter. It is not the job of public education to feed the students. Here's a solution- close the cafeterias and get the parents to pack a lunch or have junior and senior high kids pack their own. This is a ridiculous documentary. If parents stop giving grade school students money and pack them a real lunch then there go the rotten lunch programs. If the intent of this documentary is to help the situation then it missed it's mark. Outside agency's, film makers, lunch ladies can not do the job of parents. Free lunch programs? It's free! Do you expect it to be great? It's cheap free food. What to stop it? Do a better job regulating how food stamps are spent.

Some of the facts in this movie are inaccurate. According to the end, 112,000 Americans died because of obesity in 2006, but in the late 1990s the number was almost three times as high as that.I'm not saying obesity isn't a major social issue, but I do think Steven Greenstreet shouldn't have ended with failure instead of success stories. Now, even when I so much as hear this film mentioned, I feel like I have to get far away. It contains a lot of good information but even writing this review is giving me PTSD. The one good thing about its tonality is that it inspired me to do something (which this film tries to discourage), and that is why I'm making my own documentary.

as good as food inc. and a good companion piece. this one talks more about the culture that has led to the obesity epidemic, though it does address some of the same issues as food inc and future of food. this has better guests overall than either of those two films including the obligatory organic farmer and Michael pollan (author of the omnivore's dilemma who has been doing the rounds lately) as well as Ralph Nader, Neil labute, teachers, and other food experts. all these documentaries are at their core the same: they present the problem and trot out many of the same guest and then provide some examples of solutions. formulaic, but this one is pretty good. B+.
