Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed Reviews
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Stein's schlumpy presence is disarming, though his know-it-all nature is at odds with his free-speech posing.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
This is propaganda, a political rant disguised as a serious commentary on stifled freedom of inquiry.
AV Club
Steven Hyden
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.
Entertainment Weekly
Adam Markovitz
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.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Stein spends the first half of the movie setting himself a trap, and the second half squirming in it.
Chicago Sun-Times
Nell Minow
The movie itself is an example of design by faith and emotion rather than intelligence, defined as rationality grounded in proof.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Stein claims to denounce the tyranny of dogma, then browbeats us with his own.
Orlando Sentinel
Roger Moore
A cynical attempt to sucker Christian conservatives into thinking they're losing the 'intelligent design' debate because of academic 'prejudice.'
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
One of the sleaziest documentaries to arrive in a very long time, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is a conspiracy-theory rant masquerading as investigative inquiry.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Ignorance may be bliss, but encouraging it, as Expelled does, ought to be a crime.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
For a film about American freedom of expression and the necessity for open dialogue, it's hard to imagine Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed being more one-sided, narrow-minded, and intellectually dishonest.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
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.
Chicago Reader
Reece Pendleton
Embracing evolutionary theory will turn you into a close-minded, God-denying Nazi -- that's the upshot of this ludicrous propaganda piece.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
This documentary purporting to examine the issue of freedom of expression in the debate between the competing arguments of 'intelligent design' and Darwinism squanders the potential fascination of its topic with its simplistic, heavy-handed approach.
Village Voice
Vadim Rizov
Bizarre and hysterical.
TIME Magazine
Jeffrey Kluger
The man made famous by Ferris Bueller, however, quickly wades into waters far too deep for him.
Variety
Justin Chang
The film's flippant approach undermines the seriousness of its discourse, trading less in facts than in emotional appeals.
Suite101.com
Rob Humanick
To grant Expelled any credibility beyond the opening minutes requires nothing short of a leap of faith.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
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...
