Morgan Spurlock has sold his soul to help save yours.
Tom Long, Detroit News

Spurlock, the affable activist behind "Super Size Me," aims a not particularly harsh spotlight on product placement in his new documentary.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Few could pull off this fan dance as well as Spurlock, who manages to be both the laughing and crying clowns at the same time.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
