The Yes Men Fix the World Reviews
The Yes Men Change the World is an entertaining, amusing and deeply worthwhile documentary.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 29, 2019
Yes Men Fix the World feels like little more than a vanity piece, and a shoddily developed one at that.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 16, 2019
A noble experiment, but one that, ultimately, seems to backfire more than it succeeds.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 5, 2019
I chuckled, I giggled, I snickered, I hooted, I cackled, I chortled, I guffawed and I roared.

The duo also seems too focused on justifying their own controversial actions and harping on the humor element in the sequel.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 14, 2016
...the film remains perfectly watchable for the majority of its appreciatively brief running time.

A resounding Yes for the Yes Men. A middling Maybe for The Yes Men Fix the World.
| Original Score: 5/10 | May 1, 2010
Like Jackass for the NPR set.
| Original Score: 86/100 | Apr 2, 2010
The Yes Men's bravery and unflagging sense of optimistically doomed humor -- which comes across as a quixotic version of Monty Python by way of Upton Sinclair -- is to be applauded and, wherever possible, acted upon.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 5, 2010
Unfortunately, they risk seeming glib during this doc, which brandishes a cheekier, more self-congratulatory tone than did The Yes Men, its 2003 predecessor.

An entertaining swipe at corporate irresponsibility.
Full Review | Dec 4, 2009
Beyond question, the results are overstated, outrageous and wildly, scatologically juvenile. But they're also a hoot to watch.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 4, 2009
Bichlbaum and Bonanno don't just try to make the world a better place. They treat it as if it already were.

Gandhi may not have been known for his wicked sense of humor, but one gets the feeling he'd approve.
| Original Score: B | Nov 19, 2009
You can't fool all of the people all the time, but maybe the Yes Men can trick enough of them into doing what's right.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 13, 2009
This follow-up is a little more spotty and unfocused than the first film. That we're this interested in their further exploits has more to do with their goofiness than it does with the quality of footage editing, assembly and such.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 12, 2009
They are highly entertaining and I am sympathetic to most of their grievances.
| Original Score: B | Nov 6, 2009
Fleet and amusing.
