American documentary filmmaker best known for the feature documentary Super Size Me.

Directed, wrote, produced and edited Super Size Me; performed a month-long experiment eating only McDonald's and documented resulting health effects and critiques of fast-food advertising (as described in DeBaser reviews).

Reviews emphasize Super Size Me as a quirky, often amusing documentary that doubles as a denunciation of fast-food culture. The film documents Spurlock's month-long experiment eating only McDonald's and records measurable health decline. The reviewer praises its provocation but assigns a mixed evaluation (3/5).

For:documentary viewers, food and health-conscious readers, media critics

 A charming docu-film, this 'Super Size Me' by Morgan Spurlock (title borrowed from a Special Promotion slogan by McDonald's ongoing at the time of filming), halfway between a comedy and a work of denunciation where, deliberately, the author (as well as director, author, producer, and editor of the film) undergoes a strange experiment: nourishing himself day and night EXCLUSIVELY at McDonald's across half of America, recording the effects of food on his psyche and body, and documenting it all on 16 mm.
