I expected a lot more from Richard Linklater. He usually makes films that are much focused than this one. That said, I don't think this is a bad movie. This film tries to say something about America's consumption (some might say obsession) regarding meat and abused immigrants (legal or otherwise) in the work place. That's nice and everything but as a film critic, I'd have to look deeper than that. I thought the most gripping scene was the end when they actually filmed the killing, skinning, and chopping of cows. That really got to me because I did not expect such scenes in a (slightly) comedic film. That sudden turn caught me off-guard and it was very effective.

Eat meat? Watch this if you dare.

This was an interesting take on the current American lifestyle. It tried to make some important political points but usually goes over the top. The part most well done was the take on imigrants treking in from Mexico, trying to make a life. The most important part was for all you meat eaters out there--you should watch this movie before your next bite of beef (or pork or chicken or fish, the slaughter process is all the same). If you can't watch all the slaughterhouse scenery, you shouldn't allow yourself to eat meat.
