The New York Times
The film’s congeniality, however, in no way dulls its humor or the sharpness of its observations. - 50
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
If it’s not convincing as either a find-one’s-faith parable or clever spoof of pop Christianity, at least it’s relevant. - 50
Village Voice
The movie loses its zip as it becomes more dramatic. - 50
The Dissolve
Will Bakke’s Believe Me is a textbook lesson in how glossy cinematography and an appealing cast can compensate for an undercooked script. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
Neither an inspirational faith-based film nor an attack on Christian dogma, Will Bakke’s comedy/drama Believe Me plays like a religious variation of "Risky Business" minus the sex. - 20
Austin Chronicle
What is most egregious, and seems completely lost on the filmmakers, is that the film is the very thing it attempts to expose: a pandering cash-in on faith-based films disguising itself as an honest examination of belief. And that, true believers, is unforgivable.
