The Hollywood Reporter
So don't tell Spurlock he can't have his cake and eat it too. In Greatest Movie, he gleefully accepts his sponsorships on camera just to show you how wrong this all is. - 80
Boxoffice Magazine
Spurlock is at his trouble making best throughout the film, especially when he persuades longtime consumer advocate and former presidential candidate Ralph Nader by offering him a free pair of Merrell shoes. - 80
Arizona Republic
There are lots of laughs - a commercial Spurlock makes for Mane 'n Tail shampoo is hilarious. - 70
New York Magazine (Vulture)
It's surprising that The Greatest Movie Ever Sold plays so entertainingly, given that Spurlock's quest is essentially beside the point. - 70
Variety
A consistently amusing and not entirely vacuous stunt. - 70
Village Voice
As agreeable as it is insidious, Morgan Spurlock's latest exposé of corporate control via immersive humiliation is his best, most formally inventive project yet. - 70
Chicago Reader
Funny, informative, and at times outrageously cheeky. - 63
Chicago Tribune
It's too bad Spurlock settles for so little here, beyond the surface gag.
