The Founder (2016)
3/10
Citizen Kroc
7 July 2023
Such a disappointment! I loved McDonald's as a kid. And I love Michael Keaton as an actor. But this ham-handed biopic demonizes Ray Kroc and hits every stale, tired cheap shot you can possibly imagine. Does Kroc cheat the little guy? Does Kroc cheat on his wife? Is he obnoxious and shallow? What do you think, Jedediah? It's like Citizen Kane, only boring and stupid!

We can only guess that this man is charming, because we never see it. So his ability to con people for years makes no sense. And then suddenly, he's a charming ladies man who sits down at the piano and sings a duet! Where did that come from, Jedediah?

Not an original moment in this movie. And they never did explain why McDonald's Burgers taste so good.
