    The Greatest Movie Ever Sold

    Reviewed by

    "Pom Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold" is an unusual film in the sense that while you're watching it, the film feels like a behind the scenes feature. It’s a movie about branding, marketing and advertising in which our hero, Morgan Spurlock of “Supersize Me” fame tries to gather sponsorship for the film that you are watching. The film often takes a break to explain to you how a process is going to work or how wonderful this product or brand is in a gleefully self-aware manner. The fact that it feels like a behind-the-scenes feature is not a bad thing then, but the entire point of the movie. It’s an experience that’s quite unique. Morgan Spurlock's enthusiasm and charisma are more than enough to keep you interested as he struggles against all of the problems related to branding, marketing and advertising while his movie is being put together before our eyes. It also has some interesting information to divulge on the subject to balances out the personal hardships that make up most of the film. It isn't terribly insightful about how branding, marketing and advertising affect people on a day to day basis but the film isn't really about that. There are more insightful movies about the subject out there somewhere I’m sure, so if that's what you're looking for you may be disappointed. If you’re a fan of his or if you’re curious about the subject, or even documentary making, there’s a lot to like here. (Dvd, September 30, 2012)
