Editorial Review:

Description:
Inspired by the incendiary New York Times bestseller that exposed the hidden facts behind America's fast food industry, Fast Food Nation combines an all-star ensemble cast lead by Greg Kinnear, Wilmer Valderrama and Avril Lavigne with riveting, interlocked human stories to serve up "a firecracker of a movie that jumps off the screen" (Rolling Stone). When a marketing executive (Kinnear) for the Mickey's burger chain is told there's a nasty secret ingredient in his latest culinary creation?"The Big One"? he heads for the ranches and slaughterhouses of Colorado to investigate...but discovers the truth a bit difficult to swallow.

Amazon.com:

If you're still eating that fast-food burger after watching Super Size Me, you might not feel too hungry after watching Fast Food Nation, a fictionalized feature based on Eric Schlosser's bestselling nonfiction expose. Director Richard Linklater, who cowrote the screenplay with Schlosser, guides a topnotch ensemble cast through a peek behind the veil of how that Big Mac is born. Much of the film focuses on the illegal immigrants who work in the loosely regulated meat-packing industry, and actors including the luminous Catalina Sandino Moreno (Maria Full of Grace), who plays a desperate but outraged laborer. Greg Kinnear also delivers a spot-on performance as a fast-food chain marketing manager, trying frantically to discover the source of stomach-turning contamination in the company's meat. Stories are woven in unexpected ways, and cameos by the likes of Kris Kristofferson, Patricia Arquette, and especially Bruce Willis keep the narrative fresh. The film has a point of view, but thanks to Linklater's deft touch, is never didactic. As Willis's character slyly says, "Most people don't like to be told what's best for them." Agreed, yet Fast Food Nation likely will help the viewer be more conscious of what's on the end of that fork. --A.T. Hurley

- Very, very effective!!
Fast Food Nation didn't make me a vegetarian. I guess I'm like most people: when it comes down to the dirty details, I'd rather not know. Like war, no one wants to see a bunch of dead and maimed soldiers. To have an idea of something is one thing: to actually know, see, and understand that thing is quite another. We hear about illegal workers coming into this country, and we hear about subhuman slaughterhouse conditions--all of these things we hear about in abstract. But seeing these issues in a ...

- I bit horrifying...but ok...read my review
Ok, so I bought this movie b/c I don't eat burgers, fries, ect....any fast food would be Subway...b/c I can WATCH them make the food...and now I have more of reason than ever...when that kid SPIT in the food, I freaked...I mean I know this stuff happens, but still!!

My problems w/ this movie are that some parts are very boring. Too much talking, and not enough action...I did NOT care for the sexual parts, there was no need to put pure sex w/ nudity in this movie...it served NO purpose ... Read More

- Informative If A Little Slow Moving
Fast Food Nation I would rate as a good not great movie. It exposes the meat packing and food services industry as not all that sanitary and certainly not compassionate. The groups of teenagers, illegal immigrants, and phony and even unsavory corporate suits show the viewer that the all mighty dollar is king and many workers are just pawns in their universe.

There are some slow draggy moments in the film especially the border runs to pick up the illegal aliens. Nonetheless, I believe ... Read More

- A disconnected effort brings down the message
Linklater produces a movie that leaves you wondering how three basic story lines were even put together in the first place. The message of the fast food companies putting their profits as their highest priority gets muddy in the story lines leaving you feeling disconnected from this powerful message. A disenchanted businessman, illegal labor, and teenage angst fail to bring the powerful message home to the viewer.

All story lines were good in their own right, and honestly could have been ... Read More

- What Were They Thinking?
As many others have already commented, this is nothing like the book even though they share the same title. The writers even stated in the commentary that the they decided to "set the book aside". Having said that I will restrict my comments to the merits of the movie alone.

This disjointed, rambling, unfocused movie tries to intertwine several stories into one:

* A successful marketing executive (Greg Kinnear) for a large fast food chain (the not too cleverly named "Mickey's") ... Read More
