Critics Consensus

Morgan Sprulock's doc offers occasional insights but gets bogged down by the director/subject's gimmicky schtick.

Deborah Ross

The Spectator

This is a pointless film. It is sans point, has zilch point, scores nul points in the point department.

Guardian

There is room for a tough, journalistic documentary presented by someone who really did want to know the answer. But this isn't it.

Rated: 1/5

Gone With The Twins

What starts as a rather goofy, computer-animated, video game mockery transforms into mature investigative journalism.

Rated: 6/10

From the Front Row

A shameless vanity project that's better off ignored.

Despite sometimes being boring, Spurlock somehow pulls this off by being his usual self, which may or may not might attract people to watch this.

A good documentary that is ruined by Morgan Spurlock's out of control ego.

Well done yet again Morgan Spurlock, a clever, positive insight into Islam that is open in confronting all the issues.

I meant to see this four years ago, but even though Bin Laden is dead now, I'm still glad I watched it, because it's not really about Bin Laden; it's about how the West stereotypes the Muslim world, and THAT is as relevant today as it was in 2008. Grade: B+
