Film ThreatAlan NgSep 7, 2019
Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken is not only informative in the same way Super Size Me was, but his story about opening a fast-food restaurant and the journey he took to get there is entertaining and telling. Read full review

IndieWireDavid EhrlichAug 28, 2019
Spurlock’s quest to put Chick-fil-A out of business is always entertaining — the filmmaker is still a charming and quick-witted man of the people, and his shtick has aged much better than Michael Moore’s — but if “Super-Size Me 2” isn’t quite as funny as the first installment, it’s considerably more horrifying.

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperSep 12, 2019
It’s nothing we haven’t heard before, but it’s still heartbreaking to see small farmers telling their individual stories about the financial and emotional stress they’ve experienced. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreSep 7, 2019
There’s a laid back confidence to the jokes, a flippancy to his chats with corporate types, consultants and nutrition experts, and a down home connection to the interviews (a farmer cries, fast food workers decry their exploitation) with real people trapped in this onerus machine. Read full review

There’s a nagging aura of “meh” encircling the proceedings. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersSep 5, 2019
Like its predecessor, Super Size Me 2 is largely entertaining, with audience enjoyment varying on their appetite for Spurlock’s fun, smug shtick. Read full review

The New York TimesGlenn KennySep 5, 2019
The movie is at its most engaging when examining the near-monopolies controlling chicken farmers in the United States. Read full review

VarietyOwen GleibermanAug 28, 2019
It has its amusing (and enlightening) moments, but in many ways it’s just dancing around the meat of the matter. Read full review

The A.V. ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskySep 3, 2019
Spurlock’s documentary turns out to be the exact thing it is meant to expose: an unfulfilling product passed off as something that’s good for you. Read full review

Screen DailyTim GriersonAug 28, 2019
Spurlock again proves to be fascinated by the art of salesmanship, but too often Super Size Me 2 feels like its own hustle, peddling a slick, self-promotional investigation into a world that’s already fairly well covered. Read full review

The GuardianCharles BramescoAug 28, 2019
This time, his journey doesn’t send him to the ends of experience. Instead, he goes on a smug odyssey of know-it-all-ism that yields a scant few factoids we didn’t already learn from his first film. Read full review
