King Corn - Review
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.
The proliferation of corn in America is a cause for concern in King Corn as two twenty-somethings explore how this once rare plant has exponentially grown into one of the largest and economically viable agricultural crops in the United States. Hokey and bordering on trite, Ian and Curt's journey is laden with faux-shocking statistics about the dangers of corn and its role in perverting American values and how it is slowly killing the citizenry from the inside out. Informative at its core but blanketed in tawdry sentiment by phlegmatic documentarians.

I loved how they decided not to plant on their acre the next year. That movie was very eye opening, I mean most people already know High-Fructose Corn Syrup is bad for you, but I didn't realize we were killing Cows with corn and eating so much inside our meat. Very distubing, I got the same feeling from this as I did watching Jesus-Camp.
