Do You Want Lies WIth That?

Inspired by the incendiary bestseller that exposed the hidden facts behind America's fast food industry comes a powerful drama that takes an eye-opening journey into the dark heart of the All-American meal. Richard Linklater's Fast Food Nation traces the birth of an everyday, ordinary burger through a chain of riveting, interlocked human stories - from a hopeful, young immigrant couple who cross the border to work in a perilous meat-packing plant, to a teen clerk who dreams of life beyond the counter; to the corporate marketing whiz who is shocked to discover that his latest burger invention - "The Big One" - is literally full of manure. As the film traverses from pristine barbeque smoke labs to the volatile U.S.-Mexican border, it unveils a provocative portrait of all the yearning, ambition, corruption and hope that lies inside what America is biting into.

Top 10 DVD Reviewer

A fictional (based on fact?) account of where our burgers come from. Nothing we didn't already know, most of which we try not to think about while we're tucking in. If you want to turn vegetarian then watch it every day. There are some good performances and a few memorably unpleasent scenes that may have a long-lasting effect on a few. For the rest of us, it'll be a quick "ew" before we go back to enoying our junk food.

Customer rating: 3 out of 5 stars Strange!

This film started off great and I was really getting into it, then it just ends!! It just seems to fizzzle out half way through. It's worth the watch but try not to get too excited.
