Stephen C @bob25009 Apr 21 The worldwide gross is $681,725.00. See more 08/20/2021 Despite sometimes being boring, Spurlock somehow pulls this off by being his usual self, which may or may not might attract people to watch this. See more 12/18/2013 ngehe banget si Spurlock! See more 08/01/2013 A good documentary that is ruined by Morgan Spurlock's out of control ego. See more 07/16/2013 Well done yet again Morgan Spurlock, a clever, positive insight into Islam that is open in confronting all the issues.
