Pom Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold Reviews
With advertisers harvesting our online data, analyzing our brain chemistry, and moving their tactics to insidious levels of sci-fi creepiness, is knowing that we are being manipulated really the best we can do?

Rather than dryly presenting facts, Spurlock's statistics and figures are shown with witty ideas, obvious mockery, and sharp sarcasm.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 30, 2020
Rather than being informative or pointed, Spurlock presents as mostly smug and smarmy.
| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 9, 2020
It's the kind of gag that could perhaps fuel a 온라인카지노추천 comedy skit, but as a feature-length film concept, it's wafer thin.

For a film that is 85 minutes long, The Greatest Movie Ever Sold feels like an interminable slog.
| Original Score: 2.4/5 | Nov 6, 2019
You can see the final punchline coming from a mile away. Jesus(TM) wept.
| Dec 1, 2018
A fun way to learn a little more about the worlds of sponsorship and advertising, but its lack of depth will ultimately leave audiences dissatisfied.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 1, 2018
This may not be Spurlock's best or most riveting effort, but he seems incapable of making a boring film.

Not sure Spurlock is the guy who should be making this case, but hey, I don't see anybody else doing it.
| Original Score: B | Jun 22, 2013
And like Spurlock's other works, among all the laughs and gimmicks, he occasionally scores a moment that floors you.

I don't know if director Morgan Spurlock's intention of having his latest work becoming a 'doc-buster' will come to pass, but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun watching him try.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 7, 2012
It's a bit of a rambling yarn, but Morgan deserves credit for winning $1.5million worth of funding by humorously cramming an ad into every conceivable cranny, including a reference to Coke after an MRI scan.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 4, 2011
It's an amusing, shallow film...
| Oct 16, 2011
It ought to be sharper. But that is not Spurlock's way, as evinced by his disappointingly self-regarding Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 14, 2011
He gets celebrity interviewees to blah on the subject -- Ralph Nader, Noam Chomsky, Quentin Tarantino -- and still fails to dispel the mood of utter pointlessness.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 14, 2011
Before this, I hadn't grasped that the notion of "product placement" is in fact passé; now it's all about "co-promotion".
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 13, 2011
Really, it's quite odious.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 13, 2011
Glossy, diverting and shout-it-from-the-rooftops obvious- exactly like an ad, then.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 13, 2011
At times, it seems like Spurlock has pulled off a minor creative coup, convincing brands to back a documentary that fundamentally questions their commercial ethics.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 13, 2011
For his next project, it would be nice to see Spurlock put substance before gimmick. But first, a word from his sponsors...
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 12, 2011
