Freasonable.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 5, 2010

Levitt and Dubner often talk about the importance of giving incentives to customers. It's not clear if this film gives quite enough of them to those people who've already bought the book.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 2, 2010

Merely proves that a batch of bite-sized featurettes does not automatically add up to a satisfying meal.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 2, 2010

When this freakumentary hooks up with Urail King, it gets an A.

| Oct 12, 2010

The film is provocative but also scattershot and not nearly as conclusive as it pretends to be.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 8, 2010

Blame producer Chad Troutwine for bringing together an array of talented documentary filmmakers to try to coax life into material certainly not suited to the medium of film.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 7, 2010

Sometimes, it has all the answers. More often, it just asks the right questions. And in today's 24-hour froth of insta-pundit analysis, we need curiosity more than certainty.

| Original Score: B | Oct 2, 2010

Look, I enjoyed Freakonomics, I just can't really say how much so mainly because I'm still having issues buying all the information past on here as mathematical fact.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 1, 2010

The movie version of Freakonomics functions as a reasonably effective trailer, but for a book whose moment has already passed.

| Oct 1, 2010

Equal parts journalistic expose and targeted anthropological dissection, the slick anthology production Freakonomics makes heavy ideas go down easy.

| Oct 1, 2010

There is more material here to chew on than in a dozen other documentaries combined. And that's a good thing. No?

Amiably passes the time.

[It] isn't freaky enough.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 1, 2010

Freakonomics examines social, cultural, and financial issues with an eye to getting people to think differently.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 30, 2010

An attempt to turn the 2005 nonfiction bestseller into a high-energy docu-romp, "Freakonomics'' is a misconceived botch.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 30, 2010

Like the 2005 bestseller that inspired it, the movie version of Freakonomics is fleet and accessible, an enjoyably light and lively pop artifact aimed at bringing some unusual economic theories to the masses.

| Original Score: B- | Sep 30, 2010

As a movie, Freakonomics is like Jujubes for the brain -- it starts to get cloying halfway through the box.

| Original Score: C+ | Sep 29, 2010

Any movie that triggers creative thought in its audience can't be that bad a deal.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 29, 2010

The 20-minute shorts range in style from traditional fly-on-the-wall narrative to a kind of hyperactive PowerPoint presentation.
