YMMV / Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken!

Go To

  • Even Better Sequel: When compared to the original Super Size Me, it really shows Spurlock's maturation as a film-maker with vastly improved camerawork, editing, and scripting, as well as delivering a much more targeted and robust critique of the fast food industry by focusing on its Very False Advertising and Big Chicken's abusive corporate practices against the regular farmers after the far more Anvilicious aesop and the Manipulative Editing of his "eat nothing but the McDonald's menu for 30 days" experiment from the original.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: Given that Spurlock's restaurant runs on honesty, having to show this trait himself with his sexual harassment confessions is a rather tough pill to swallow. It did not taste so good.
  • The Woobie: Jonathan Buttram, the farmer who assists Spurlock with his chicken farm. Not only does Koch Foods knocks him down dead last in the performance rate despite having the best results, he is all but blacklisted from the industry as a result of participating in the documentary. Even his son has doubts about continuing the family tradition thanks to the cruel system they're stuck in.
