Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken! - Trailer Preview




SUPER SIZE ME 2: HOLY CHICKEN available on Demand in UK 

from 9th December


When Morgan Spurlock went on a life changing odyssey involving eating nothing but McDonalds for one calendar month, many could not believe what would happen and the gradual sea change he helped document in the renowned Super Size Me.

What started as a joke, became a global phenomenon turning Spurlock from a guy with a punchline of an idea into a respected film-maker culminating in garnering an Academy Award nomination (losing to Born into Brothels) for Best Documentary Feature.



Much like his forefather, Michael Moore, Spurlock injects himself into the narrative as a subject and focal point investigating the harms eating junk food for one month has on his body. In the original, Spurlock is a healthy person and his fiancée a devout vegan and health fanatic, so the pain she goes through when his body morphs into this bag of saturated trans fat is horrifying for her.

Spurlock is back and this time he is attempting to open up a fast food restaurant serving fried chicken which is now grilled chicken (the same thing), and going into how branding warps consumers minds with key words and colour spelling. All at a perfectly reasonable price.
