We loved this movie when we saw it in the theater and now it's available on DVD. Maybe we liked it so much because we agree with a message it sends; that cheap, easily grabbed food isn't so cheap after all. That's a message we endorse whenever we get the chance.

You don't have to take our word for the quality of Fast Food Nation. It was an official selection at the Cannes Film Festival. Here's what A.O. Scott of the New York Times had to say about it:

Fast Food Nation is thick with debate, argument, rumination and repartee. Curiously enough, the talkiness is what saves the movie from turning into a lecture. Its loose, digressive rhythm keeps it tethered to reality, while the dialogue and the easy pace of the scenes allow the characters to register as individuals, not just as types.
