McDonald’s’ll never be big. Just ask the McDonald brothers!
Ray disagrees, and is on a mission to convert them (and everyone else) to the gospel of growth. Problem is, Ray’s a nobody; a struggling salesman with flimsy ideas.
We all know how the story ends. But here we learn how it begins, and how it begins is wildly interesting, almost unbelievable.
Why? It’s complicated. At one end, nostalgia rains like a vanilla milkshake. Suits are pressed, and countertops glisten. Bright smiles beam out of cherry-red Buicks. But the other end? It’s never far away, and it’s all selfishness and mania. Ideas over people.
The movie is built around this bipolar energy—Ray’s energy. So it’s strange to say, but at the end of the day, this is a well done, family-friendly movie about a man anything but.
