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. - 75

Jaunty but thought-provoking. - 63

There’s a nagging aura of “meh” encircling the proceedings. - 60
Variety
It has its amusing (and enlightening) moments, but in many ways it’s just dancing around the meat of the matter. - 60
The New York Times
The movie is at its most engaging when examining the near-monopolies controlling chicken farmers in the United States. - 60
Los Angeles Times
Like its predecessor, Super Size Me 2 is largely entertaining, with audience enjoyment varying on their appetite for Spurlock’s fun, smug shtick. - 50
Screen Daily
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.
