5. Lol check out what Rotten Tomatoes gave it......
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/expelled_no_intelligence_allowed/

a 10% :rofl:

Consensus: Full of patronizing, poorly structured arguments, Expelled is a cynical political stunt in the guise of a documentary.


"This film is cheerfully ignorant, manipulative, slanted, cherry-picks quotations, draws unwarranted conclusions, makes outrageous juxtapositions, segues between quotes that are not about the same thing, tells bald-faced lies, etc."

"Junk science meets even junkier filmmaking in Expelled -- a no more shameless, stupid and loathsome piece of propaganda has ever skulked its way into the theater."

"Ignorance may be bliss, but encouraging it, as Expelled does, ought to be a crime."

"This film is an appallingly unscrupulous example of hack propaganda and it sucketh mightily. What's more, I didn't laugh once."

"Embracing evolutionary theory will turn you into a close-minded, God-denying Nazi -- that's the upshot of this ludicrous propaganda piece."

:rofl:

6. You should check out Pharyngula
for a funny story about the premiere. P. Z. Myers, a professor at University of Minnesota Morris, was interviewed for the movie but when he was recognized in line by Expelled's producer he was specifically barred from entering the theater. His guest, a friend from England, was allowed to continue into the theater with Myers' wife and daughter and watch the movie.

Myers' guest? None other than Richard Dawkins.
