Plot: (from Yahoo movies) :
This horror comedy proves that fast food can be deadly to more than just a healthy lifestyle. Hella-Burger's creepy mascot, Horny the Clown, likes his burgers rare--and bloody. The masked maniac goes on a rampage through the sleepy town of Blanca Carne, brandishing a meat cleaver, an ax, and a deep fryer to dispatch his fast-food-craving victims. Only cute high school student Mackenzie Carpenter (Leighton Meester, 24) has the power to stop him as she realizes the reason for Horny's violence. SUPER SIZE ME director Morgan Spurlock costars.

A lot of people don't like this movie, but I actually enjoyed it. It's my guilty pleasure movie. What's not to love about a deranged Ronald McDonald with a hatchet and a grudge? Sure, it's a worn out topic: "they were mean to me when I was a kid/teenager. Now it's payback time!" but this time, they took our nation's giant, the fast food industry, and made it deadly. You don't go to camp every day. You don't vacation every day. You don't visit your old boarding school every day. But you DO see fast food every day! Health campaigns always warn you about the dangers of fast food..eating it, that is! But this movie even makes the mascot deadly. They could have shipped the kids off on a cruise and had Archie disguise himself as a janitor and slice them off. But they didn't. Instead, they used something that is a part of everybody's every day, normal life: fast food. In the words of Horny the Clown: "Fast food kills, fucker!"
The humor was also pretty sweet. I love the stereotypes. Those white "gangstas" that screech about daddy's money at the first sign of trouble, the preps and jocks, and the pot heads. And let's not forget Sargent Crackers passed out with a half eaten burger. That's exactly what the health ads warn you about! And everyone enjoys political jokes. Plently of those in there! Keep an eye out for clever puns!
The movie also delivers the red stuff, so the gore hounds are left happy.
Rating: 9/10.
Let the flaming begin!! *hides*
