This movie was pretty good ... I have a few pointers for those who have not watched it yet. It's probably a good idea to keep children out of the room when watching this.. there are some scenes with drugs and nudity .. but the movie is overall very very funny... a little cheesy in parts tho. Watch out for the hippie song!. Especially if you are watching this in a classroom as I did. It's just so hard not to laugh.. because they are SUCH HIPPIES ! overall, this film had some very interesting points. it is definitely an eye-opener for those who just don't see nature in it's beauty, it's entirety. oh well .. all i can say is that I enjoyed this movie very much .. probably just because it has Woody in it.. and don't we all love woody ??

and this is important, especially in the U.S.; where many people are still arguing that "Supersize Me" is anti-capitalism propaganda. Please. Maybe sometimes the message is presented in an extreme fashion, but if this is what it takes to make some people realize that eating McDonald's, drinking Coca-Cola and eating junk food clearly causes medical illness, then I am all for it.The alternative fuel message is also something people should be able to learn about. Other than the sales of Hybrid cars, I do not see many newspapers covering this subject. Why?.Harrelson and his group travel from Seattle to Santa Barbara, we view the beautiful sequoias, learn why they are being decimated. While another reviewer mentioned the clichéd, hippie slant to it (we could do without Steve Clark saying "dude" every 20 minutes), this can be bypassed in the name of information. Alternative thinking is a GOOD thing. Once one questions, and changes their diet, they are at least helping themselves and the environment.Put the clichés aside and learn a few of the issues; I for one find it appalling that the U.S. allows bovine growth hormone in milk, while Canada has banned it, due to links with diabetes and cancer. If you look up statistics from the CDC obese kids in America are on the uprise. The trend will continue unless people face some facts. While some people object to the word "activism" we need people like Harrelson, who have the money and resources, to present alternative ideas to the audience.Hope he does a sequel to this about fuel and its destruction to the environment, and the reasons Americans are still paying top dollar for oil. 9/10

This movie is a breath of fresh air. It is intelligent and through-provoking as well as fun to watch with several humorous scenes and remarks. When watching it you feel like one of the guys or you at least long to "Get on the bus!" with them. It's not everyday when you get to see a movie that is like this... it's about the seriousness of reality and it packs a punch for those who are unaware of the detrimental state... but it doesn't leave one with a hopeless feeling. It's inspiring. It needs to be seen and shared with everyone... family and friends. Don't miss out on this one. Take a chance on a new compassionate perspective for our future. You'll be glad you saw it.

Caught this at the Chicago film festival and loved it so much that I saw it twice. This journal about an enlightening road trip has so many wonderful moments that even if you don't agree with its principles, you will still have a good time. I discovered some life-changing tips, which hardly even happens at the movies. But don't go for the message, go for the good time. Great musical interludes too!
