Fat Head, Director’s Cut by Tom Naughton Documentary Review
February 18, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Comedian Tom Naughton started out with the intention to film a rebuttal to Morgan Spurlock’s documentary Super Size Me but what he ended up with was so much more.

He reminds us that we aren’t stupid, despite what certain organizations would like us to believe, and we can make smart decisions all by our little ole’ selves.
