Super Size Me (2004)
The movie was found to be a scam, sadly
It seems years after I watched this movie it was a scam. Morgan is an alcoholic which explains his liver problems and he publicly admitted this. The diet has been studied also in Swedish university and the results were totally different. No mood swings, no liver problems etc. They only gained weight.
Now I'm not advocating fast food, which usually is or can be very unhealthy but it seems now that the document itself was a scam...
Morgans said this in his message after Meetoo:
"Is it because I've consistently been drinking since the age of 13? I haven't been sober for more than a week in 30 years."
So there you go.

Well what can I say...
English? OK... well of course it's easier to tell the story but white teeth and dreadlocks? No and no! -Mammoths? They are too big. Where is this movie taking place? -Horses? No! Man tamed horses about 5,000 years ago.
-Swords? No! Swords are from the Bronze Age.
-Walking in a snowstorm without proper fur clothes? No! = almost instant death.
-Ostrich dinosaurs (ornithomimosaurs) attacking in a jungle? No! They are from the Cretaceous Period 145.5 - 65.5 million years ago.
-Friendly saber tooth tiger (Smilodon Populator)? Oh s**t... gimme a break.
-Chili peppers? No! Chili is from South America and wasn't a part of human diet in Africa or where ever this movie is taking a place. Chili has been a part of a human diet in America around 7500 BC.
Ships? No! There were some kind of boats about 10 000 years ago but those were only simple rafts for hunting and fishing.
-City and pyramids, high culture? No and no! Cities developed slowly after Neolithic Revolution and first pyramids in Egypt are around 2630 BCE.
-Mammoths in Africa? Using mammoths building pyramids? No and no! This movie is great! -Maps, astrology? Well if there are cities and pyramids... Maybe it's time to give up.
All this with normal love story, bad acting and clichés.
