The Yes Men Reviews
Hilariously, The Yes Men follows a subversive group of well-organized activists posing as guest speakers...

Its willingness to mock not just the men in power suits but the journos and news organisations who swallow their FTSE gibberish is salutary indeed.

The Yes Men's political performance art is very funny and much care obviously goes into it.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 19, 2004
Inspiring and shows just how far a couple of guys, a few computers, and a good sense of humor can go.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 19, 2004
There are few things as satisfying as watching the wealthy, righteous, powerful or pompous get fully duped. As a result, there is a great deal of satisfaction in The Yes Men.

The filmmakers include some good behind-the-scenes footage ... and have unfettered access, but the movie sometimes feels like one long college fraternity stunt.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 7, 2004
The Yes Men feels padded at only 83 minutes, as if the footage had been stretched to fill the running time, but it gets the point across that humanity is sorely missing from the corporate world.
| Original Score: B+ | Oct 7, 2004
[They're] playing these jokes on these obscure audiences.

Yes, The Yes Men is funny, but it's humor that hurts.
| Oct 1, 2004
It's so smirkily inside-baseball it never bothers to make its argument; the film simply proceeds from the assumption that all of us in the audience are in agreement with its point.
| Oct 1, 2004
Equally funny and sketchy -- like a leftist reality 온라인카지노추천 show that somehow took on an extra hour and pulled a guerrilla infiltration of movie theatres.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 1, 2004
It is hard not to be sporadically impressed by the audacity with which they stir people, some influential, out of complacency about the plight of the world's poor.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 1, 2004
Achieves what any good documentary tries to: It's thought-provoking, insightful and entertaining at the same time.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 1, 2004
An issues-based doc with a sense of humor. It's a bit flimsy, but you have to hand it to these guys: They're con artists with convictions.

This sly little documentary packs a wickedly satiric punch.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 1, 2004
They have such colorful characters and such an alarming story to tell that the film works in spite of its imperfections.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 1, 2004
A likable documentary profile.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 1, 2004
Breezy, brief, and often a howl.
| Sep 30, 2004
Parody, satire, and pranksterism are all the fashion in creative activism -- at least on the left -- and as masters of the form, the canny, politicized performing artists in the eponymous documentary The Yes Men are the ones to beat.
