    This time, doc director Morgan Spurlock takes product placement to the ultimate level. He determines to finance the film entirely from sponsors and we are treated to his process. Turns out it's is not just informative, but highly entertaining.

    I absolutely loved this movie! It is completely hilarious, caught my attention the entire movie, and I left the theater with a smile on my face. I highly recommend this movie - I hope Morgan hits his $10,000,000 goal so that POM Wonderful will pay for their sponsorship of the movie. In what other film will you see the filmmaker bathing a pony in a tub?

    Spurlock's meetings with skeptical corporate types are punctuated by comments from filmmakers about how product placement - or in Quentin Tarantino's case, being turned down by Denny's - influences creativity.

    Spurlock banks on his charm and likability -- and it's that charm and likability that make The Greatest Movie Ever Sold so much fun to watch.

    Although there are gentle detour discussions about advertising in classrooms and school buses, Spurlock's ironic approach can't convince us that ads are toxic. Indeed, when he visits sprawling Sao Paolo, Brazil, where all outdoor advertising has been banned, it seems as sterile as Stalingrad.
