I just saw the movie Fast Food Nation, directed by Richard Linklater. Even though it didn’t get great reviews, I enjoyed it. I can understand why the reviews weren’t stellar, because it goes off on a lot of tangents, but I liked the tangents it went off on. It’s based on the book of the same name, written by Eric Schlosser. The book is non-fiction, while the movie is a fictional account, which is kind of unusual. I haven’t read the book, but I may have to check it out.
