Summary: 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...

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.

While the message is admirable I got pretty tired of the college students making a joke of the whole ordeal. I also disliked the tone they used in making the film, when it was pretty clear they had come to their conclusion long ago. They also rehash a lot of the ground covered by other documentaries, such as Food Inc. Great concept, the presentation just doesn't appeal to me.

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..

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.

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.

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.
