What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Deborah Ross The Spectator 08/23/2018
This is a pointless film. It is sans point, has zilch point, scores nul points in the point department. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 10/18/2008
1/5
There is room for a tough, journalistic documentary presented by someone who really did want to know the answer. But this isn't it. Go to Full Review Tom Charity CNN.com 10/18/2008
Complicated global problems require something a bit more challenging than this. Go to Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins 11/28/2020

What starts as a rather goofy, computer-animated, video game mockery transforms into mature investigative journalism. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com 09/27/2020

08/20/2021 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. See more 12/18/2013 ngehe banget si Spurlock! See more 08/01/2013 A good documentary that is ruined by Morgan Spurlock's out of control ego. See more 07/16/2013 Well done yet again Morgan Spurlock, a clever, positive insight into Islam that is open in confronting all the issues. See more 02/25/2013 dissapointing... but at the same time a bit fun adventure... See more 01/16/2013 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.
