Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/4 --
It's about empty calories and empty life - ridiculous insistences that all kids see playing time regardless of on-field performance, the absurdity of porn as background noise, that revolution can start in rec rooms and the woozy lure of neon strip malls.

The Film Yap
Linklater writes great dialogue....FAST FOOD NATION sees missed connections and divisions, resignation and atomisation: in short, the slow sad seep of arbitrary, intransigent reality.

Rating: 2/5 --
The stories lack shape, and the procession of famous faces detracts from the low-key, realist tone.

Rating: 2/4 --
'Fast Food Nation' might have translated into a compelling documentary. Instead, Schlosser's research is used as a springboard into a sluggish fictional narrative that merely hints at the grim reality.

Rating: 1/5 --
This movie has taken a firebrand book and turned it into a whingeing piece of defeatism.

Guardian
FAST FOOD NATION is a horror movie in the guise of a genial message film: it has funny, even goofy moments, but its implications -- grounded as they are in Schlosser's painstaking reportage -- are dead serious and excruciating to contemplate.

Linklater is preaching to the converted.

Product Description:
FAST FOOD NATION is director Richard Linklater's big screen adaptation of Eric Schlosser's best-selling book, which exposes the evils of corporate fast-food production. Co-written by Linklater and Schlosser, the film presents a wide tapestry of characters whose lives are all affected in one way or another by Mickey's, a fictionalized fast-food chain. At the top of the chain sits Don Henderson (Greg Kinnear), a Mickey's marketing VP who is shocked to discover that a high fecal count has shown up in his company's burgers. Sylvia (Catalina Sandino Moreno), Raul (Wilmer Vilderrama), and Coco (Ana Claudia Talancon) are illegal Mexican immigrants who have found employment in the grotesque plant that produces those same burgers, working under the evil watch of supervisor Mike (Bobby Cannavale). Ashley (Amber Johnson) works the counter at a local Mickey's, but when she befriends a group of politically charged college students (Lou Taylor Pucci, Avril Lavigne), she thinks twice about her job. Along the way, several more characters are introduced (played by Kris Kristofferson, Ethan Hawke, and Bruce Willis), who voice the concerns expressed in Schlosser's nonfiction account. Linklater takes a leisurely approach to his otherwise in-your-face material, allowing certain stories to play themselves out before moving on to another. The result is a film that sneaks up on viewers. However, by the time it reaches its powerful conclusion, the filmmakers' point becomes painfully clear.
