“The Founder” isn’t a McDonald’s takedown in the manner of, say, Morgan Spurlock’s documentary “Super Size Me”; it is, on one level, an elegy for what the company might have been, but it’s also wise enough to know that McDonald’s is interesting only because of what it became.
This is not Super Size Me , not a denunciation of McDonald’s as a dealer pushing junk food on susceptible consumers.
If Morgan Spurlock’s “Super Size Me” hasn’t already given you second thoughts about patronizing McDonald’s, “The Founder” wants to eliminate any doubt.
Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014)
Directed by Michael Bay

Product placement is not new in big studio films as best showcased in the Morgan Spurlock documentary The Greatest Movie Ever Sold.
Morgan Spurlock’s The Greatest Movie Ever Sold (2011) may be the only other film with product placement so overt that it’s magnificent.
Plot: It figures that the director of the fast-food expose Super Size Me would be in charge of capturing the 3-D concert antics of the pre-fab musical equal to burgers and fries: New Direction, the hottest boy band around.
