Leave your thoughts about Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken!.
| Film ThreatAlan NgSuper Size Me 2: Holy Chicken is not only informative in the same way Super Size Me was, but his story about opening a fast-food restaurant and the journey he took to get there is entertaining and telling. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperIt’s nothing we haven’t heard before, but it’s still heartbreaking to see small farmers telling their individual stories about the financial and emotional stress they’ve experienced. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThere’s a laid back confidence to the jokes, a flippancy to his chats with corporate types, consultants and nutrition experts, and a down home connection to the interviews (a farmer cries, fast food workers decry their exploitation) with real people trapped in this onerus machine. |
| Globe and MailMark MedleyVegans and animal lovers might have a tough time stomaching parts of the film. |
| FlavorwireJason BaileyUnless you're partial to Spurlock's fluffy style of cutesy, self-satisfied juxtaposition, music cues, narration, animation, man-on-the-street interviews, and on-screen text, there's not much of value that you couldn't just pick up from a good article. |
| indieWireDavid EhrlichSpurlock’s quest to put Chick-fil-A out of business is always entertaining — the filmmaker is still a charming and quick-witted man of the people, and his shtick has aged much better than Michael Moore’s — but if “Super-Size Me 2” isn’t quite as funny as the first installment, it’s considerably more horrifying. |
| Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersLike its predecessor, Super Size Me 2 is largely entertaining, with audience enjoyment varying on their appetite for Spurlock’s fun, smug shtick. |
| RogerEbert.comOdie HendersonThere’s a nagging aura of “meh” encircling the proceedings. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyThe movie is at its most engaging when examining the near-monopolies controlling chicken farmers in the United States. |
| Screen DailyTim GriersonSpurlock again proves to be fascinated by the art of salesmanship, but too often Super Size Me 2 feels like its own hustle, peddling a slick, self-promotional investigation into a world that’s already fairly well covered. |
