Watch Fast Food Nation For Free

That was an excellent one.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

A lot of problems like migration, the real face of the fast food industry, the way they treat animals, work accidents, people using methamphetamine etc. were mentioned during movie. But these problems could have been shown more detailed. Thinking of the basis of the characters, it was really insufficient. It could be a better movie but it's still worth to see to gain a point of view about what really goes on till we have our fast food meal.

I saw this in the library, I checked it out not knowing much about this movie other than the blurb on the box, that it was loosely based on a nonfiction book indicting the fast food industry. Unlike some others here who felt let down and disappointed by the movie, I had the opposite reaction, "Fast Food Nation" was better than I thought it would be. If you expect a Michael Moore type film on the fast food industry you might not like this. It is more of a humanistic view of not only fast food chains effect on people's lives, but franchises in general. The central points of the movie are not limited to the evil big mac (or "big one" as its called in the film), it's asking some broader questions. Should people be happy with a Big Mac and a pair of Nikes? What happens to bring it to them? and is there maybe something weird about a culture where plenty of people are actually happy with a big mac and a pair of Nikes, or maybe a "Happy Meal". Bruce Willis' character represents the other side of the coin who basically says- nobody is making immigrants come here (a big mac and a pair of Nikes is probably still better than what they had), plus plenty of other things kill people besides fast food. And I'd also add there is a bit of s**t in just about any tap water as well as that "big one" burger. It was probably presented as a "fictional" movie to avoid legal problems, and to avoid being tied into Michael Moore territory. Overall I like the approach they took. All the actors are good, and I especially liked Bruce Willis and Ethan Hawke in their short parts. "Fast food nation" is a unique achievement encompassing both dark humor and moving drama. The moralistic tone of the film and the killing floor scene combine to make a strong impact. It could have been a little more focused, but this is a well done film IMO.

Perhaps at the time this film came out it made news, but it is now merely a moralistic bore. Many writers have made hay of the beef industry and its hand maiden, fast food in recent years, so if you're paying attention, nothing in this film is really news.Beyond that, it is a bleak picture of humanity, which isn't unfair, just incomplete. The story is slow, uncompelling, and boring. I nearly turned it off at a couple different points and regretted that I hadn't. The end was a nice little touch, but not worth the wait.The characters themselves for the most part were very unengaging, cardboard-like, and simply uninteresting. The fact that this movie was based on a non-fiction book should ward off any potential viewer. I didn't heed the warning, and thus, I wish I had those two hours back. I would have been much better off reading a book about food than watching this movie.Don't make my mistake--there are much better movies about food out there, this one is terrible.

Fast food chains are going to be upset about this film cause the message in this film seems to be a bit too forced, heck it was really forced. As a matter of fact if Michael Moore made a film with real actors and actresses and not make it real time I imagine it to be something like this, not that I think that every Micheal Moore film is not staged what so ever. I would also like to add that a few stars make a cameo in this film which was actually somewhat decent but sort of also seem like a distraction. The movie sort of made me avoid fast food not just cause of the forced message in this film but because as we get older we have to start watching out for the stuff we eat, cause junk foods tend to clog up your blood vessel and may cause other problems. Anyways this movie isn't another "Super Size Me" besides it showing how unhealthy the food is and what goes down in the fast food industry. I didn't really enjoy watching this film, it sort of did it's job of giving a forced message about the fast food industry. I was disappointed by the barely interconnected stories that jumps around constantly and it feels like you just don't gain anything out of a depressing film as this or being informed of anything new. I was expecting something in the level of like "Thank You For Smoking" or at least somewhat close but was left disappointed.6/10
