It's impossible to take it seriously.

| Original Score: 1.0/4.0 | Sep 7, 2020

I won't go into the details of the film's polemic. But one of its problems is that it has a double agenda.

A the point where the film starts exploiting the Holocaust to score cheap shots.. there's no laughter left, only pure, unbridled disgust.

To grant Expelled any credibility beyond the opening minutes requires nothing short of a leap of faith.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Dec 17, 2008

This film is cheerfully ignorant, manipulative, slanted, cherry-picks quotations, draws unwarranted conclusions, makes outrageous juxtapositions, segues between quotes that are not about the same thing, tells bald-faced lies, etc.

| Dec 4, 2008

Despite some occasionally sloppy filmmaking, I think the picture is worth a look. It raises important ideas and issues, asks important questions. No one could argue against that, right? Bueller...Bueller...Bueller...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 3, 2008

Like Moore, whose documentary-cum-polemical style they are clearly imitating, the makers of Expelled give their critics too much ammunition, so even if you're sympathetic to some of the ideas and the underlying argument, it is still difficult to defend.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 18, 2008

Ignorance may be bliss, but encouraging it, as Expelled does, ought to be a crime.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 18, 2008

Don't expect any serious debate here about God and evolution. This documentary is like watching a paranoiac making fun of a hysteric.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 27, 2008

If someone believes in the Tooth Fairy, can they complain about not being taken seriously at dental school?

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 27, 2008

This film is an appallingly unscrupulous example of hack propaganda and it sucketh mightily. What's more, I didn't laugh once.

Full Review | Original Score: 0/4 | Jun 27, 2008

The movie is unpersuasive, but it's amusing...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 28, 2008

Embracing evolutionary theory will turn you into a close-minded, God-denying Nazi -- that's the upshot of this ludicrous propaganda piece.

| Apr 25, 2008

Might there be a way to get to God through science? It's a fascinating notion and I wish the slickly produced Expelled investigated it more thoroughly.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 25, 2008

Expelled is a classic bait-and-switch, presenting itself as a plea for freedom in the scientific marketplace of ideas, while actually delivering a grossly unfair, contradictory, and ultimately repugnant attack on Darwinists.

| Original Score: F | Apr 24, 2008

Regardless of your personal views, Expelled's heavy-handed bias (a visit to Darwin's home gets the same eerie music as a tour of Dachau) is exasperating.

| Original Score: D | Apr 24, 2008

Junk science meets even junkier filmmaking in Expelled -- a no more shameless, stupid and loathsome piece of propaganda has ever skulked its way into the theater.

| Original Score: .5/5 | Apr 22, 2008
