King Corn is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation. In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America's most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil...

Watchable, but didn't make enough of a statement.

Some fascinating and frightening information about the corn industry, and the food industry as a whole. Not the greatest documentary ever made but, far from the worst. Worth a viewing, for sure.

I enjoy corn more than I did this film. Interesting stuff on the seed cleaning.

This film is excellent because of its consciousness-raising. The filmmakers put a lot of effort into making it.

Well done. But could have used more Michael Pollan

This turned out much better than I thought as far as the reactions from people involved. The industry spokeswoman was trying so hard to be serious, but I thought she was hilarious. Instead of creating a contentious overbearing documentary on a mission, the guys created an informative light-hearted and enjoyable glimpse into what's wrong with U.S. agriculture policy and the economics of our food (and energy) chain.

Not a well made documentary but definitely a must see. Explains a lot about why most American are fat without a doubt. I wonder how the rest of the world is..

An implied condemnation instead of an outspoken one. That's also about as friendly as you're likely to see Pollan be. Great final scene.

I enjoy these kind of documentaries, they make me angry at the world (even more than I was before)
