POM Wonderful Presents The Greatest Movie Ever Sold DVD Review

Rating: M
Released by Madman Home Ent

Fresh from supersizing and looking for bin Laden, Morgan Spurlock returns with this doco looking at product placement within the media world.

He decides to make a doco which will be entirely funded by product placement as well as exposing the industry for what it's worth.

Yet another playful piece with a semi serious message as Spurlock takes on the corporate world and wrestles with the argument of whether he's selling out or cashing in. Clearly,he is doing a little of both but you can't help but question at what level he's being compromised as a doco maker for the foreseeable future.

Full of energy, humour and the continual shock factor of whatever it takes to get the film made,Spurlock's clearly revelling in it and so is the audience.

Quick cuts,laugh out loud moments and a reasonably interesting insight give this the feel for what it needs but it's as superficial as the industry itself and a good 90 minutes out.

A polished film which is riotously good fun, this film is a surefire hit .

Extras: Spurlock interview, trailer - not too much
