I haven’t had time to watch a lot of movies lately, blogging is my third priority in life right now. So when I picked up Fast Food Nation at the local movie store, I wasn’t expecting much since my first choice was Apocolypto.
It did nothing however. It was so incredible boring, like my writing style. Discussing the details of the plot is akin to discussing the literary merits of an Archie Comic. I just can’t emphasize enough how bad it all is. It’s such a disaster it may resurrect Paris Hilton’s career. She’ll be able to defend herself by saying, “At least I didn’t make Fast Food Nation,” and executives will have to acknowledge that she has a point.
I’m not entirely sure if I can translate into words, how bad this movie was. Perhaps if I’d remained in school longer, I could blow my readers away with just how much I disliked this enormous stinker of a movie. Please, give this movie to someone you hate, they’ll understand your hatred once they sit through this
Lets start with what is supposed to be a wonderous plot. Greg Kinnear is sent to the meat packing plat that supplies the corporations hamburger meat, when reports that the meat is dirty, and contaminated. Well, thats how the plot starts. Somehow, the movie detours and brings us a new plot as well. We follow a group of illegal immigrants on their journey into the the US, as they get jobs in the same meat packing plant that Kinnear is investigating.
Oh, if thats not exciting enough, we also are treated with cameos from Bruce Willis, and Avril Lavigne… for a few minutes.
I just don’t know where to begin when I watch a movie so bad, so poorly written with a cast of characters I really could care less about. This is the second worse movie I’ve ever seen in my life. The first? The Big Kahuna.
Nothing happens in this movie, nothing. Its intention was to shed light on the meat industry, the slaughterhouses, the cruelty to animals, the hardship of illegal immigrants and the corrupt fast food industry that has the world by its grips.
Maybe I’m the idiot. I rented a movie that had a gross of 1 Million dollars at the box office, barely 6 million with rentals. Its obvious I’m not the only one who hated this movie, that makes me feel good.
