Critics Reviews

Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times 06/19/2015
The faux press conferences and perverse inventions (SurvivaBall, anyone?) that are included here highlight corporate greed and governmental shortsightedness as shrewdly as ever. Go to Full Review
Ben Sachs Chicago Reader 06/18/2015
As usual, the mood is genial and the anticorporate politics refreshingly blunt. Go to Full Review
Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post 06/18/2015
2.5/4
Although this latest documentary is, in large part, simply more of the same stuff we saw in the earlier films, there's also a lot of background material here about Servin and Vamos that makes this outing a bit more interesting. Go to Full Review

7/10
Even with some overt directorial choices, The Yes Men Are Revolting still works. Go to Full Review
Steve Erickson Gay City News 02/16/2018
"The Yes Men Are Revolting" is an entertaining ride through the past few years, but for all its exuberance, a deep gloom remains. Go to Full Review

Please do not think that I am resorting to a banal cliché when I say that you do not want to miss it. Go to Full Review

03/24/2016 good film -- but more important the topics covered with humor are cruitial for the world's environment See more 02/25/2016 Disappointingly tame and unfunny documentary, following two well-intentioned activists as they masquerade as WTO spokesmen and mock the greed of their target audience. Problem is, their humour is too opaque, their audiences too small, their effect negligible. And where is the savagery? A wasted opportunity. See more 08/29/2015 Attention-seekers parading as activists. When you make people look foolish, you're more likely to strengthen your opponents' resolve than convince them of your position. I support their causes, but not their methods. Adding in a bit of personal drama between the two renders the film even more pointless and indulgent. See more 07/08/2015 8/19/15 Amazon Instant Video A funny and creative look at a serious issue. Thank goodness there are people like The Yes Men and their compatriots who take the time and energy to try and correct serious problems such as climate change. It is a little discouraging that the "bad guys" still seem to be winning. See more 06/16/2015 More personal than their previous work, Revolting provides both zany hilarity and sobering reality. In this film, The Yes Men become more than mere activist antics, and their humanity endears them (and their wonderfully creative stunts) to the audience. It's a story all people who are passionate for social justice can connect to. It's charming, heartbreaking, and inspiring. It's serious and seriously funny. I can't wait to see what's next. See more 06/13/2015 Funny movie with serious matters. I laughed through most of this--jack ass the movie but with a message and brains. See more Read all reviews
