Proposed move
[edit]The movie is officially titled "POM Wonderful presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold". Shouldn't the article be moved to be under that title? Verkhovensky (talk) 06:21, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
- I think so, is there anything in Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) that disputes that idea? If not, let's move it! --Bobak (talk) 22:15, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
- There's Wikipedia:Common name to consider. Ribbet32 (talk) 18:51, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
- Since the whole point of the movie is that everything, down to the title of the movie, is up for sale, the full name should be used. I will be bold and go ahead and move it. Slavlin (talk) 05:15, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

What is the movie actually about?
[edit]This article lists all the people that were involved in the movie, how it was promoted, what the music was... but nothing about the actual content of the film past the leading paragraph stating that it's a biography starring Morgan Spurlock about product placement. Huh? Reconrabbit (talk|edits) 03:46, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
- See New Journalism, Hunter S. Thompson, George Plimpton etc. "Super Size Me" is about Morgan Spurlock and his personal exploration of the world of fast food, while "Greatest Movie Ever Sold" is about Morgan Spurlock and his personal exploration of the world of product placement.

- Both "Super Size Me" and George Plimpton's movie "Plimpton! Starring George Plimpton as Himself" have a Synopsis section. I feel like this movie could benefit from the same. Reconrabbit (talk|edits) 18:52, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
I think the issue with making a synopsis is that the film is essentially about the making of itself. At one point in the film when a prospective sponsor asks what the movie is about, Spurlock says something to effect of "This is it: we're making the movie right now." I'm sure there's a way to convey this information without making it seem like an editorial. jhsounds (talk) 02:30, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
