The narrative is punctuated with title cards from the heroine’s diary, a pointless conceit...but the script makes some interesting observations about how people’s religious feelings are influenced by their relationships with their families...

Bailly intends to dissect the fragile psyche of a free spirited non-Jewish fashion model,but for me, the important subject of the film is Francois, a quasi-handsome Jewish veterinarian living in Paris, who has a latent but ongoing identity crisis.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 18, 2009

There's much to criticize about this somewhat farcical romantic comedy, but the talent, beauty and pixieish whimsy of Audrey Tautou isn't one of them.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 6, 2004

It's barely got enough material for a 24-minute episode of Friends, let alone enough juice to solve the mysteries of the universe.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 30, 2004

You could watch a heroine barrel into a messy romance all day, provided that she's a lot less dopey than this, but few of Michele's foibles make us sympathize with her.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 10, 2003

I was trying to decide what annoyed me most about God is Great... I'm Not, and then I realized that I just didn't care.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | May 16, 2003

The plot grows thin soon, and you find yourself praying for a quick resolution.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 21, 2003

An incredibly irritating comedy about thoroughly vacuous people...manages to embody the worst excesses of nouvelle vague without any of its sense of fun or energy.

| Original Score: C- | Mar 6, 2003

God is great, the movie's not.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 21, 2003

Although God Is Great addresses interesting matters of identity and heritage, it's hard to shake the feeling that it was intended to be a different kind of film.

| Original Score: C+ | Feb 20, 2003

You can practically smell the patchouli oil.

This off-putting French romantic comedy is sure to test severely the indulgence of fans of Amélie.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 30, 2003

Audrey Tatou has a knack for picking roles that magnify her outrageous charm, and in this literate French comedy, she's as morning-glory exuberant as she was in Amélie.

| Jan 30, 2003

Too infuriatingly quirky and taken with its own style.

Full Review | Dec 20, 2002

I am convinced [Tautou] can do anything, and I recommend the movie almost solely because of her.

We never truly come to care about the main characters and whether or not they'll wind up together, and Michele's spiritual quest is neither amusing nor dramatic enough to sustain interest.

Full Review | Nov 14, 2002

Michele is a such a brainless flibbertigibbet that it's hard to take her spiritual quest at all seriously.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 8, 2002

A movie in which two not very absorbing characters are engaged in a romance you can't wait to see end.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 8, 2002

Simplistic fluff-ball of whimsy.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 8, 2002

A light-hearted French film about the spiritual quest of a fashion model seeking peace of mind while in a love affair with a veterinarian who is a non-practicing Jew.
