Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken! Reviews
With knowledge comes power and perhaps Spurlock's newest film can give us all the power to make better, more informed decisions.
| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Nov 21, 2020
Spurlock seems aware that his antics won't change much. His purpose here is simply to inform people, knowing full well the irony at the heart of his enterprise. Still, it's terrific viewing, often funny, sometimes scary.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 22, 2020
Super Size Me 2 does an excellent job of showing the highs and lows of the country's capitalist-driven farming industry.

As with the original Super and his many other documentaries, Spurlock peppers his narrative with plenty of humour, a dash of animation and some clever music choices.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Mar 26, 2020
Holy Chicken! has some ideas, and many of them are good, but it's driven by a director-star who constantly gets in his own way.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 24, 2019
Despite the potential double product cross marketing MO, Super Size Me 2 resounds as a heart-felt follow-up and Spurlock's best film since the original.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 26, 2019
Gone is the everyman filmmaker seeking the truth, and its place is a savvy operator who cracked the formula for stunt journalism and is keen on running it into the ground.
| Original Score: 4.5/10 | Sep 18, 2019
This time around, Spurlock's fast food centered film isn't quite as much fun, but it's just as informative.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 14, 2019
Spurlock takes aim at the lack of transparency in the chicken industry while again proving himself among the most entertaining documentarians in the business.
| Original Score: A- | Sep 14, 2019
[Morgan] Spurlock has a penchant for topics that matter and have a lasting impact and Holy Chicken is no exception as he creates humor and entertainment, building upon the layers to educate and enlighten the viewer...
| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 13, 2019
Comedian and 온라인카지노추천 host John Oliver called attention to the same issue during a 2015 episode of HBO's Last Week Tonight, but in film form, [director Morgan] Spurlock has more free range to fool around and make things fun.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 13, 2019
It only goes to angers you...especially when you realize that we're nowhere near real, tangible change, and like these poor chickens, we're being herded towards the slaughter.
| Original Score: B | Sep 13, 2019
Revealing fast food docu has some language, animal violence.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 13, 2019
It feels very calculated... And then it takes a really devastating turn, and it won me over.
| Sep 9, 2019
While it lacks the revelatory impact of its predecessor, this follow-up is still informative, entertaining, and slightly disturbing.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 7, 2019
Spurlock's comedic antics give way to a more serious, traditional docu-journalist approach as he looks into the immensely unbalanced dynamic between the Big Chicken corporations and the local American farmer...
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 6, 2019
Documentarians like Spurlock are essential in bringing the mysteries of our food to light.
| Original Score: 8.5/10 | Sep 6, 2019
Compared to the original, both the message and the messenger look more flawed. But stripped to its core, Super Size Me 2 answers those questions in a manner that still manages to leave you feeling shaken and, if not crispy, a little steamed.
| Sep 6, 2019
One of the biggest problems with this follow-up is that it is just as trivial as its predecessor but doesn't have a gimmick to help compensate for the lack of any real insight.
| Sep 6, 2019
It only skims the surface of the habitual human behavior Spurlock wishes to explore and exploit.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 6, 2019
