Fast Food Nation is a fictionalized film loosely based on the non-fiction book Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser. It was filmed on locations in Mexico and the United States (in Texas and Colorado) under the codename Coyote.
The movie is about the health risks involving the fast food industry and its environmental and physical consequences.
It was produced by Participant Productions and Recorded Picture Company for HanWay Films and BBC Films, and was written and directed by Richard Linklater. It premiered on May 19, 2006 at the Cannes Film Festival. The film was released November 17, 2006. It made $390,000 during its opening weekend. The movie uses a fictionalized approach instead of being a documentary, telling the story from the point of view of people involved in the industry. The ensemble cast includes Greg Kinnear, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Ethan Hawke, Luis Guzmán, Patricia Arquette, Kris Kristofferson, Lou Taylor Pucci, Ana Claudia Talancon, Esai Morales, Paul Dano, Wilmer Valderrama, Bruce Willis, and Avril Lavigne.
Fast Food Nation received mixed reviews and was not widely distributed. Manohla Dargis of The New York Times called Fast Food Nation "The most essential political film from an American director since Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11", while JoBlo's Berge Garabedian said "none of the stories in the film are interesting (except one), the ultimate lack of connection between them all is surprising and worst of all, it all just felt like a school lesson to me, taught by a condescending know-it-all", giving credit only to the movie's strong line-up of big name actors. The film's rating on Rotten Tomatoes stands at 50%.
