6/10
"A hilarious subversion of the World Trade Organisation - but better, perhaps, not to entrust such weighty issues to a couple of confidence tricksters."
Movie Gazette
Anton Bitel
B-
"A mediocre idea made into a decent film,
Men
doesn’t quite have the Teutonic-plate shifting power it suggests, nor the comedic value it assumes."
FilmJerk.com
Brian Orndorf
"Their usual mode is face to face, as they attend a conference or address a group of people in suits."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
3/4
"If there is a lesson to be learned from
The Yes Men
, it's that it's best to think of how our actions might affect others because hell hath no fury like being the butt of one of these fellow's jokes."
Kansas City Star
Dan Lybarger
3/5
"I wish the film had expanded its view... and yet what we get, while not much, is at least sufficient."
eFilmCritic.com
David Cornelius
3/4
"It’s amazing what people will swallow when guys in suits and ties are cracking the whip."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
A
"Gives hope to those who believe one or two people can affect change in the world, and is one of the most enjoyable and satisfying works of non-fictional cinema this year."
FilmJerk.com
Edward Havens
3/5
"The Yes Men is a humorous documentary about the subversive pranks of two political activists out to embarass the World Trade Organization."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
2.5/4
"As activism, the Yes Men are about as effective as an article in the satirical weekly, The Onion, or any episode of Phil Hendry's radio show"
Perihelion Journal
Jay Antani
3/5
"Less agitprop or a call to arms,
The Yes Men
is more amusing than enlightening."
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
2.5/4
"As an activist art project, it works, but not as a film"
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
"These guys are just plain good for our collective soul -- they’re my new heroes."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
4/5
"One doesn't often go to a documentary expecting belly laughs, but this one delivers more than its share."
Goatdog's Movies
Michael W. Phillips, Jr.
4.5/5
"Bracingly engaging--simply because Bichlbaum and Bonanno are so likeable, hilarious, smart and provocative."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
B+
"The sheer chutzpah that Andy and Mike...exhibit as they make their outrageous statements is a pleasure for the anarchist inside me."
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
4/5
"Apparently most people lose the urge to fight for justice somewhere between the frat house and the corporate cubicle."
