90Outrageously entertaining.
-
This movie is a hoot, and a pertinent one at that.
-
80Entertainment that tickles the justice-for-all glands.
-
80Mainly, Fix the World is about the beauty of the riff. The Yes Men are funniest when addressing a straight audience, making outlandish claims in favor of the free market and the benefits of unregulated catastrophe--the Black Plague gave us capitalism!
-
78The 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.
-
75The film is entertaining in its own right, and thought-provoking. Why don't more people quickly see through their hoaxes?
-
75Hilarious.
-
Beyond question, the results are overstated, outrageous and wildly juvenile. But they're also a hoot to watch.
-
For those who enjoy the shift-in-your-seat kick of seeing emperors caught with their knickers down, however, the squirm factor achieved by the Yes Men out-Borats Sacha Baron Cohen at his most confrontational.
-
75It's provocative stuff, and The Yes Men approach it with a wicked sense of humor.
-
75They also, with brilliant simplicity, point to the possibility of these actions being taken for real.
-
75What have the Yes Men actually accomplished with their japery? Their film is an inadvertent reminder that activist antics are not the same thing as reform.
-
An odd combination of righteous, raucous and rueful.
-
70If the Yes Men's antics have a lot in common with the stunts of Sacha Baron Cohen and Michael Moore, they are executed more in the spirit of dry amusement than as showboating, gotcha moments.
-
70Finds its titular merry pranksters up to yet more capitalist-critiquing chicanery and fat-cat-fooling fun.
-
70Compared to their first movie, "The Yes Men" (2003), this one focuses on many fewer hoaxes, but they're more elaborate and potent.
-
60God bless their antics, but the Yes Men's jestful jousting feels more like tilting at windmills
-
50What are they trying to accomplish and is this really the best way to accomplish it?
-
50Given the duo's withering take on capitalism, it's ironic that their stumbling second feature feels throughout like an infomercial for a shtick whose expiration date is rapidly approaching.
