Average Customer Rating:

30 days of supersizing...

Customer Rating:

Morgan Spurlock is a very good film maker. This TV series was short-lived but an excellent example of documentary film making. The show was very entertaining and informative. I highly recommend this show to anyone interested in Morgan Spurlock, Supersize Me, and social issues. Many hot issues are addresses, like: Islam's role on the US after 9/11, gay marriage, is minimum wage a livable wage, living an environmentally friendly life, etc. Must see.

Best Reality Show Ever	Customer Rating:
Everyone needs to watch every segment of this video. Keep an open mind because it will change ever preconceived notion you ever had. Agree with him or not, we need more truth-seekers like Spurlock in the media. If I ever meet this guy, I think we'd be instant best friends.

Teachers, Use This in Your Classroom!

Customer Rating:

I purchased this because I was tired of listening to my high school Government students expound on their erroneous views of Islam, namely that every single Muslim in the world is a terrorist waiting to attack the United States. I have since shown the "30 Days on Minimum Wage" to my Economics students and lent the "Binge Drinking" segment to my school's Life Skills teacher. This series is an honest look at the "other" -- something that I believe few Americans are privy to. It gives the viewer a chance to walk a mile in someone else's shoes, which, I believe, is a great opportunity to exercise the compassion and empathy muscles.

Great Educational Tool	Customer Rating:
This is a great series of shows. Finally, some socially minded t.v. that really engages the viewer. I used the episode "Muslims and America" with my 9th grade Global History and Geography class as an introduction to Islam and stereotypes that abound in the United States. I highly recommend this DVD.

Good Glimpse

Customer Rating:

A friend pointed out that this show doesn't really point out anything new or unknown, and this is probably true. However it really isn't the point of the show. It's to immerse you in different things, or at least immersion by watching someone else being immersed in it. It really is amazing how much can actually happen in 30 days, a few of these have breakdowns, a few even have revelations. The other thing it helps is to break down fear of the unknown in our life. I personally didn't know much about Islam, the Castro distric, what taking HGH/Testosterone will do to you, etc. Sure I had an idea, but it's here it's really put in your face for you to understand. It's only 6 episodes, but they are a good 6 episodes.
