Religulous DVDReligulous is an irreverent series of interviews led by Bill Maher.

The topic of these interviews is to poke fun at organized religion and point out the flaws associated with them.  Although this movie will not be for everyone, it is an entertaining movie where Bill Maher is in rare form.

What I Liked About It?

When he wants to be Bill Maher can be a very funny comedian.  Sadly, many times I have seen his humor take on too much bitterness as he discussed some political topics.  Fortunately, here, he is completely control of his humor and it is a laid back style which plays so much better.

Another interesting aspect is that he talked a range of different religious figures who many gave as good as they got.  This back and forth added to the film and made it really.  The guy who played Jesus at the Holyland theme park was especially sharp.

What I Did Not Like?

There wasn’t much I did not like.  I imagine some people may feel uncomfortable at certain parts if that aspect hits closer to home.  However, even in these situations, the movie does a good job of not digging to deep.  A great philosophical, thinker movie this is not.  Instead, it looks at things more directly and looks at most things at face value.  This actually works well for the movie and helps keep things going forward.  In other words, even if you don’t agree with a certain part, you are quickly moved on to other aspects so it does not hurt the film.

Overall Review

I really enjoyed this movie as I am a fan of Bill Maher’s humor.  I don’t normally agree with a number of his political opinions but this was not problematic in any way while enjoying this film.  If I were to rate this movie, I would give it A or A-.  I would recommend renting this movie and also would be a good movie to buy on DVD.  For more information on where to buy it, check out Religulous DVD.
