Spurlock is good company: a more likable, less abrasive, less manipulative Michael Moore. - 63
USA Today
Though entertaining, Spurlock's lighthearted approach doesn't work as well here. - 63

Could as easily be called "Spurlock: Cultural Learnings Of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of America." - 50
New York Magazine (Vulture)
The film is a hodgepodge, and it closes with a whimper. But along the way some lucid voices slip through. - 50
Variety
Morgan Spurlock, of the "Super Size Me" phenom, serves up a rehash of others' 9/11 reportage, bin Laden biography, Islamic theology and suicide-bomber psychology, in a tone so aghast you'd assume he knew nothing about the War on Terror -- which should make pic very appealing for those who know nothing about the War on Terror. - 50
Village Voice
An affable action hero in search of the planet's arch supervillain, Spurlock is less irritating than his obvious model, Michael Moore, but also less politically astute; assuming the role of a faux-naïf stranger in a strange land, he's more benign and not nearly as funny as unacknowledged analogue Sacha Baron Cohen. - 50
Washington Post
In casbahs and desert villages, in kibbutzim and around the campfire, Spurlock has a way of getting people to open up, to use their real voices and express their real opinions, the likes of which never make it onto network news. That's his gift, and when he uses it, "Where in the World zzzzz-zzzz" opens up into a miraculous document. - 42
Entertainment Weekly
A primer no one needed, Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden? should have been called "The Post-9/11 World for Dummies."
