POM Wonderful Presents The Greatest Movie Ever Sold
Rating: M
Released by Madman Home Ent
Fresh from supersizing and looking for bin Laden, Morgan Spurlock
returns with this doco looking at product placement within the
media world.
He decides to make a doco which will be entirely funded by product
placement as well as exposing the industry for what it's
worth.
Yet another playful piece with a semi serious message as Spurlock
takes on the corporate world and wrestles with the argument of
whether he's selling out or cashing in. Clearly,he is doing a
little of both but you can't help but question at what level he's
being compromised as a doco maker for the foreseeable future.
Full of energy, humour and the continual shock factor of whatever
it takes to get the film made,Spurlock's clearly revelling in it
and so is the audience.
Quick cuts,laugh out loud moments and a reasonably interesting
insight give this the feel for what it needs but it's as
superficial as the industry itself and a good 90 minutes out.
A polished film which is riotously good fun, this film is a
surefire hit .
Rating: 8/10
