What are critics saying?
New York Magazine (Vulture) by David Edelstein
Outrageously entertaining.
Mainly, Fix the World is about the beauty of the riff. The Yes Men are funniest when addressing a straight audience, making outlandish claims in favor of the free market and the benefits of unregulated catastrophe--the Black Plague gave us capitalism!
New Orleans Times-Picayune by Mike Scott
It's provocative stuff, and The Yes Men approach it with a wicked sense of humor.
Given the duo’s withering take on capitalism, it’s ironic that their stumbling second feature feels throughout like an infomercial for a shtick whose expiration date is rapidly approaching.
God bless their antics, but the Yes Men’s jestful jousting feels more like tilting at windmills
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
If the Yes Men’s antics have a lot in common with the stunts of Sacha Baron Cohen and Michael Moore, they are executed more in the spirit of dry amusement than as showboating, gotcha moments.
Hilarious.
