Fast Food Nation movie meets with mixed reviews from critics, moviegoers: NewsTarget.com

Tucson, Ariz. – Fast Food Nation, a fictionalized movie version of Eric Schlosser's best-selling nonfiction depiction of fast food companies' negative impacts on American life, opened over Thanksgiving weekend to mixed reviews from both critics and the public.

The film -- by "Dazed and Confused" director Richard Linklater -- follows an all-star cast of characters who are all connected in some way by fast food. Greg Kinnear stars as an executive for fictional fast food giant Mickey's, who embarks on a quest to find out why the Mickey's "Big One" burger has tested positive for cow feces.

Most reviewers found that the movie abandoned its potential to enlighten Americans on the origins and impacts of their fast food lifestyles. Atlanta Journal-Constitution reviewer Bob Townsend writes, "What's most frustrating about 'Fast Food Nation' is how much it promises and how little it delivers."
