Christian Science Monitor
While it's not a great movie, it's a revealing study of how long it often takes for businesspeople to realize they're being freaked out, not flattered. - 80
L.A. Weekly
An uproarious and appalling piece of consciousness-raising. - 75
Rolling Stone
Subversive and diabolically funny. - 75
New York Post
An amusing side dish to the sober political documentaries flooding the art houses, The Yes Men effectively uses high farce to mock the status quo as a way of questioning it. - 70
Film Threat
While the antics of the group provide hilarity the documentary suffers only because there is large amounts of padding. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
A sobering yet hysterically funny documentary. - 70
Los Angeles Times
Smart and amusing. - 60
Village Voice
Though at times the film is snortingly funny, too much of the humor here rests on presupposed opinion about globalization.
