"The Greatest Movie Ever Sold," Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, 87 minutes, Rated PG-13 for some language and sexual material – Morgan Spurlock examine the relatively new phenomenon of product placement in films and TV shows with an eye toward having sponsors underwrite the entire cost of this production. It's a brilliant satire as we watch Spurlock pitch the notion to ad agencies, lawyers and prospective backers and then slowly reel in his "catches." Along the way, he visits with Ralph Nader and others opposed to the practice so that we end up with a balanced look at the subtle – and sometimes not so subtle -- ways that ads infiltrate just about everything we watch. Bonus materials include commentaries, deleted scenes, a featurette and five commercials.
