Trey Parker and Matt Stone's 'outrageous, irreverent' comedy is the gusher of pointless profanity and smut that will cheer the myriad fans of South Park. The ultimate message of this cringe-worthy spectacle is that liberals are dupes and traitors, foreigners are either evil or morons, and kicking ass around the world is our national birthright. Go team!

Chicago – On the menu screen for “Pom Wonderful Presents The Greatest Movie Ever Sold,” director Morgan Spurlock promises that the movie you’re about to watch will “impregnate your brain with awesome.” That’s quite a promise and the movie doesn’t exactly live up to it. Once again, it’s a decent documentary made by a very-smart man that still has frustrating flaws — like all of Spurlock’s work.
Blu-Ray Rating: 3.0/5.0
Morgan Spurlock is incredibly entertaining and incredibly smart. I’ve met the man. He’s clever and quick on his feet. But I’m still not yet convinced that he’s a great filmmaker. His short-lived TV series, “30 Days,” actually features the best work he’s done to date because it distills his ideas down to a more-manageable form. The fact is that the length of a feature-length film seems to always be working against him, never more...

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release Pom Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, the latest documentary entertainment from Academy Award nominee Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) on Blu-ray and DVD on August 23 for the list prices of $35.99 and $30.99, respectively.
Morgan Spurlock sells out—or rather, sells his documentary—in The Greatest Movie Ever Sold.
A funny and fresh look at modern-day media and money, the 2011 movie explores the world marketing and advertising and was fully financed by product placement, which has been integrated into the picture. Spurlock dissects the world of advertising and marketing over the course of the film by using his own disarming and determined personality as currency to sell out the cost of his film to the highest bidder. Lots of the financing, as you may have deduced, came courtesy of Pom Wonderful, the pomegranate-based juice and product company. The Greatest Movie Ever Sold? Spurlock may very well have made it!

Recently, The Film Stage caught up with Morgan Spurlock to discuss his new film Pom Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, now playing. The film examples the role of product placement and advertising in movies. Here is what he had to say:
Is this part of your sponsorship deal, this whole outfit?
What’s funny is that it was all my idea. That’s the thing, as you watch the film, this whole pitch of the suit was my brainstorm, so now these are my own chickens coming home to roost. So yeah, comes with the territory now.
Did you really think that when you started out…
That anyone would give us any money?
…that you’d even think you’d have a film?
Yeah, we had no clue. When we started, we thought it was a great idea, we didn’t know if it was even possible, and...
