Todd McCarthy Variety The clash of fundamentalist Islam and Western values as encapsulated by the "blasphemous" Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad is examined at length in It's Hard Being Loved by Jerks. Feb 23, 2012 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The deadly clash between the cultures of the West and those of fundamentalist Islamists gets a thorough examination in this informative and timely documentary. Rated: B- Jul 21, 2016 Full Review Prairie Miller Critical Women Free speech or hate speech, daring activists or danger junkies? Among the issues this doc does not pursue, seemingly living outside history along with the gleeful Charlie Hebdo cartoonists it celebrates. Whose demise yes, could be connected to the CIA.

Audience Member Docu tripant sur Charlie Hebdo et les caricatures ! Heureusement, les gentils et la démocratie gagnent à la fin… Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Reprenant l'intitule de la fameuse couverture de Charlie-Hebdo, ce documentaire militant relate le proces intente en 2007 par la mosquee de Paris et l'UOIF a l'hebdomadaire satirique dans le cadre de l'affaire des caricatures de Mahomet. Precis et methodique, Daniel Lecomte aligne les interventions des avocats et des temoins des deux parties afin de rendre clairement compte de ce qui s'est dit durant les plaidoiries, et deplace evidemment son propos vers le cadre plus large de la liberte d'expression. Cela dit, "C'est dur d'etre aime par des cons" est un travail qui n'a rien d'impartial et qui s'assume parfaitement comme tel. Adepte d'un laicite de combat, Lecomte ne laisse generalement la parole aux defenseurs du camp adverse que pour mieux tenter de les prendre a leur propre logique. De meme, on observe un net decalage entre les temoins de Charlie-Hebdo qui en appellent a l'essence meme de la democratie, et ceux des plaignants qui semblent tous en proie a une rage irreflechie. Manipulation ? Pas vraiment, plutot un parti-pris clair et net de la part de ce documentaire qui desire moins l'impartialite que la proclamation d'un message fort et salutaire pour la liberte d'expression. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member err.....not the chick flick I expected. lol. but an interesting subject i'll admit. loved the muslim brothers in the background ;P Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Entertaining film. Hard to believe it's a documentary and not an absurd comedy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
