The Greatest Movie Ever Sold Ratings & Reviews
Detroit News
Tom Long
Morgan Spurlock has sold his soul to help save yours.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
Forget about "greatest." But this could be the most self-referential movie ever: literally a 90-minute narrative about its own creation.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
Spurlock, the affable activist behind "Super Size Me," aims a not particularly harsh spotlight on product placement in his new documentary.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The nonstop onslaught of product placements in our lives is, alas, a given. The only novelty here is that Spurlock has hauled the corporate marketeers into an indie movie arena supposedly too pure for such temptations.
Slant Magazine
Jesse Cataldo
Morgan Spurlock sets out to fund his movie about product placement entirely through product placement, turning the entire film into the story of its own creation.

Alonso Duralde
Watching The Greatest Movie Ever Sold is like popping in a DVD that has a making-of documentary but no feature presentation.
Bitch Media
Sara Reihani
With advertisers harvesting our online data, analyzing our brain chemistry, and moving their tactics to insidious levels of sci-fi creepiness, is knowing that we are being manipulated really the best we can do?
indieWire
Leonard Maltin
The bemused smile on his face may fool some people into believing he doesn't have a strong point of view, but he does: like the man from Michigan, Spurlock is a muckraker...
Chicago Reader
Michael Wilmington
Funny, informative, and at times outrageously cheeky.

Leonard Maltin
Morgan Spurlock has a gift for creating movies that, like his signature piece SuperSize Me, offer a provocative "hook," entertain an audience, and still manage to address serious...
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Always the smooth showman, Spurlock avoids answering his own question: Is he selling out or buying in?
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
An exuberant documentary that demonstrates the all-pervasive influence of modern advertising by satiric example, and with great ingenuity...
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Only the extremely naive will be shocked, shocked by director Morgan Spurlock's dissection of product placement in movies.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Despite its flaws, POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold is worth imbibing, if for no reason other than the bellyache it generates.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Like the best ad man, he makes his point by making us laugh.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Like "Super Size Me," the new "documentary" is heavy on Spurlock-centric humor and very light on actual information.
UGO
Jordan Hoffman
Spurlock's desire to make his kakmaime scheme work transforms him from a snarkier-than-thou, Harpers Magazine-friendly trickster into an earnest man trying to nail a business deal. And he gives great meeting!
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
[Spurlock's] affable, regular-guy shtick works well here, and he scatters the movie with such gleeful ads for his sponsors' products that, if his documentary work ever dries up, his next career choice is obvious.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
With "The Greatest Movie Ever Sold" Spurlock creates a good time along with some surprisingly salient observations as he tries to keep his balance on this very slippery slope.
