- 80The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttSo don't tell Spurlock he can't have his cake and eat it too. In Greatest Movie, he gleefully accepts his sponsorships on camera just to show you how wrong this all is.
- 80Boxoffice MagazineSteve RamosBoxoffice MagazineSteve RamosSpurlock is at his trouble making best throughout the film, especially when he persuades longtime consumer advocate and former presidential candidate Ralph Nader by offering him a free pair of Merrell shoes.
- 80Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzArizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzThere are lots of laughs - a commercial Spurlock makes for Mane 'n Tail shampoo is hilarious.
- 70New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinNew York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinIt's surprising that The Greatest Movie Ever Sold plays so entertainingly, given that Spurlock's quest is essentially beside the point.
- 70VarietyJustin ChangVarietyJustin ChangA consistently amusing and not entirely vacuous stunt.
- 70Village VoiceVillage VoiceAs agreeable as it is insidious, Morgan Spurlock's latest exposé of corporate control via immersive humiliation is his best, most formally inventive project yet.
- 70Chicago ReaderChicago ReaderFunny, informative, and at times outrageously cheeky.
- 63Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsIt's too bad Spurlock settles for so little here, beyond the surface gag.
- 55MovielineStephanie ZacharekMovielineStephanie ZacharekThe subject of Spurlock's movie is Spurlock, and while he may be reasonably affable, and sometimes extremely goofy, it's a stretch to call him controversial.
- 40Time OutEric HynesTime OutEric HynesRather than an argument or exposé, the movie is a condescendingly narrated demonstration of how money makes the movie world go round. (Stop the presses.)
