"Pom Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold" is directed by Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me). The movie is about advertising and product placement, and is paid for completely by advertising and product placement. I think everyone in the advertising or pr industry has to have a sense of humor about things like this documentary. I hope to be in that industry someday very very soon and I find this concept hilarious.
We've all heard someone say "everything in moderation". This documentary is proof that whoever told you that was right! Product placement in movies and television, when done right, should be subtle and add to the reality of the program. It should not distract from the plot line, or in this case hijack the plot line and run with it. Anyways, the documentary is available now on dvd, so rent it or add it to your netflix queue!
