January 6, 2012Ralph Nader: You can satirize and spoof yourself out of your objective. Out of this film may come a transformed, commercialized, corporatized Morgan Spurlock. And you'll never be able to shake that identity. That's your peril. That's your challenge.

November 13, 2011Very interesting if you're interested in the subject, but it's more "calls attention to the issue" than "explores it in depth"

October 21, 2011Morgan Spurlock: Where should I be able to go; where I don't see any bit of advertising?
Ralph Nader: To sleep.

I'm a big fan of Morgan Spurlock. I have loved everything I've seen from him; from Super Size Me to his show 30 Days. He alway... read more -
October 18, 2011I've got to say, this is definitely the most interesting and entertaining Morgan Spurlock documentary that I've seen. A documentary about the making of a documentary about advertising and completely funded by advertising. It's not nearly as confusing as it sounds, which you'll se... read more

September 23, 2011Spurlock continues being a stunt-documentarian. He takes an important issue and boils it down to something easy to comprehend and entertaining. He is far more concerned with holding the audiences attention than educating or asking them to think. It's a one joke movie, but an ente... read more

September 15, 2011A very clever documentary with the always entertaining Morgan Spurlock. The reality of brands constantly selling you something where ever you go is quite shocking. Having a documentary about advertising completely paid for by advertising is perhaps genius. I believe that Spurlock... read more

September 13, 2011Clever concept, and a very entertaining documentary on the unabashed nature of product placement. Morgan Spurlock has always had a flair for invoking a lot of humor in his films, and I think that's what mainly separates him from the dull, gray and somber mass of lesser documentar... read more

August 21, 2011Clever idea, interesting enough and Morgan Spurlock is always personable, but was a little disappointed in this as I expected something a little more. I guess because Supersize Me was a rare movie which actually did change my life (I have not bought fast food since I saw it!). ... read more

A documentary about branding, advertising and product placement that is financed and made possible by brands, advertising and product placement.REVIEW

August 13, 2011fb100000145236770Morgan Spurlock is probably my favorite documentary director. "Super Size Me" and his old FX show "30 Days" were both fantastic. So when I found out he made a new movie about product placement and advertising I knew I had to check it out. Comparing this to his other previous ... read more

Guy Dixon, Globe and Mail
The problem is that the film, despite an attempt to examine the intellectual pollution of pervasive marketing, can't help coming off as one big smirk. Full Review

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Few could pull off this fan dance as well as Spurlock, who manages to be both the laughing and crying clowns at the same time. Full Review

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
The real public service of "Greatest Movie" is learning how these companies protect themselves in the contracts that Spurlock signs to get them on board. Full Review

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Pom Wonderful Presents the Greatest Movie Ever Sold" sounds like an ingenious ploy, using the sponsors' own rope to hang them. Alas, the film never gets its lasso knotted. Full Review

Michael Wilmington, Chicago Reader
Funny, informative, and at times outrageously cheeky. Full Review

The nonstop onslaught of product placements in our lives is, alas, a given. The only novelty here is that Spurlock has hauled the corporate marketeers into an indie movie arena supposedly too pure for... Full Review

Always the smooth showman, Spurlock avoids answering his own question: Is he selling out or buying in? Full Review

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Engaging as Spurlock can be, too much of the movie is just scene after scene of him meeting with high-priced consultants to talk about "brand identity" and other euphemisms for shallow sloganeering. Full Review
