The film

In a bold 28-day experiment, comedian Mo Gilligan tours the UK and US on a fried chicken diet to uncover the impact of the craving — and industry behind it.

The Real Review

Mo Gilligan's 28-day fried chicken tour gets a surprisingly mixed reception, with most people liking it but a sizable chunk hating it. The story, where he travels the UK and US to investigate the craving and the industry, comes off as thin and familiar to many, despite a few finding it funny. What people can agree on is the villain: the "chicken industry" and "Government" are slammed hard for their impact on rivers, communities, and animals. Mo himself is a likable host, though not everyone's sold, and there's real enthusiasm for the film's call to action, with the petition getting a perfect score from those who mentioned it.
