San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle
: Bill Maher does something amazing in Religulous. He makes Michael Moore look incredibly likable in comparison.

B-

|
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
: Maher can be a smartass, but his attempts to apply reason to religion are challenge than a threat.

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
: While the film is an utter failure as a documentary (it's a visual op-ed piece), it has moments of genuinely funny comedy.

New York Times - Stephen Holden
: ...a film that aims for laughs, not a scientific survey of the roots of faith.

B
|
|
New York Post - Kyle Smith
: No defender of any religion could withstand five minutes of cross-examination from a junior varsity debater, but Maher at least seeks out some worthy targets.

Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
: An often hilarious but relentlessly shallow attack on religious fundamentalism by humorist Bill Maher.

Boston Globe - Wesley Morris

Although I was bit apprehensive before going to the theater in order to watch the movie it has really turned out to be a real entertainer. Bill Maher did a wonderful job. I have liked it very much. | | | | Reply | | |
