Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Over-extended but nonetheless thought provoking and humorous documentary.

fresh:
Maher is essentially and professionally a comic, and the measure of this movie is not just the thoughts it provokes but the laughs it generates.

fresh:
I think this is an important movie, challenging, many beliefs that many of us seem unwilling to talk about. Mainly, though, you'll laugh...a lot.

Religulous has an unholy fervor that should start many bonfires.

rotten:
About half of the movie works in its snide, hit-and-run way. The other half throws more and more darts at the same balloon, long after it pops.
