Featured review
Poor performance
I found it problematic that the movie was titled "Bowling for Morgan" and was marketed as a sequel to the documentary "Super Size Me" by Morgan Spurlock. It's focus on belittling Mr. Spurlock hobbled the film, and instead of creating a watchable counterpoint, it instead became an inadequate rebuttal that ran like a high school video project slanted toward smearing a classmate. The tacky "Two can play this game" marketing quickly limited how far the documentary could survive as a viable fact source and set it up for mockery.
"Bowling for Morgan" tried to respond to "Super Size Me." It failed. It failed because it misunderstood the point of Spurlock's documentary. "Bowling for Morgan" addressed only personal responsibility. All food is potentially harmful if it is misused whether in quantity or by quality. It is up to the person to decide which food and how much of that food that they eat. That is their responsibility as a person. They failed to address the quality of the food, the fat intake, the freshness, the processing. Those are things decided by the provider of the food before the person has the ability to choose which kind and what portion size they will eat. The provided food and the company who provides it is at least addressed in "Super Size Me."
