The value of this documentary is the way it actually changes your way to look at fast food. It did not follow one important guideline for a fully trustworthy documentary, i.e. to be objective at all times, but at least it tries to. To me, the film is more of a commercial (against fast food) than a documentary.
The documentary tries to achieve much of the trustworthiness through Morgan's anxiousness, showing how he enthusiastically digs into the meals with great desire. He loses some of his enthusiasm as the days goes by, but continues with a determination that seems to stem from abstinence. Morgan's energetic appetite together with him actually being a funny and charming guy, keeps the film going.
My eagerness for fast food (and especially McDonald's) was more affected by this film, than from reading "Fast Food Nation" (although the book had other good aspects to it).
The film should be a good choice for anyone considering cutting down on fast food.
It got a 6 from me, mainly because of it's good intentions and Morgan's enthusiasm.
