“Do you want lies with that?”

Don Anderson (Greg Kinnear), a marketing executive at the Mickey's burger chain, is sent to find out why customers are getting sick on the company's flagship patty.

Richard Linklater, adapting Eric Schlosser's book, lets the stories overlap and never hurries to tie them together.
