New York Post Megan Lehmann

A cinematic petit four.

New York Daily News Jami Bernard

The far too whimsical God Is Great, I'm Not leans heavily on the charms of Audrey Tautou -- As adorable as Tautou is, miracles are beyond her.

Miami Herald Marta Barber

You come out with a sense you've seen it all before.

LA Weekly Kate Sullivan

Tatou evinces that innate self-possession in which Frenchwomen specialize, and lets it fly here. That, in turn, keeps this flawed movie aloft.

Chicago Tribune Ellen Fox

In her (Audrey Tautou) latest film, a quest for romantic and religious fulfillment called God Is Great, I'm Not, she stretches her range to encompass one more personality trait: annoying.

The New York Times Dana Stevens

If these two can figure out a way to love each other, maybe it isn't necessary for us to like them very much.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

Tatou IS adorable, but Michele is a such a brainless flibbertigibbet that it's hard to take her spiritual quest at all seriously, and if you don't feel in your heart that she's really TRYING to grow and mature as a spiritual person, then who cares about her idiotic antics?

Village Voice Melissa Anderson

A grating cycle of squabbles, sloppy kissing, and rapprochements.

Washington Post Desson Thomson

Too infuriatingly quirky and taken with its own style to get down to telling a story.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

Far from great, and this off-putting French romantic comedy is sure to test severely the indulgence of fans of "Amélie."

Variety Lisa Nesselson

Choppy and fragmented to the point of irritation, pic overuses blackouts between scenes, self-conscious camera movements, narrative ellipses and other jangly techniques.

God Is Great, Gilbert Mulroneycakes is Not gave it a 6:
Audrey wants to be careful she doesn't get typecast as Sweet Waif Avec Coeur D'Or. She should play a serial killer or something next. The film's watchable enough, but while in Amelie, the whimsy felt perfectly natural, here it's a bit forced, and almost at odds with the rest of the movie. Rent it on video. But not from Blockbuster.
