Not, not, not for kids. This movie is intelligent, thought provoking and very, very funny--laugh out loud funny. You may find yourself at times thinking, holy crap did he just say that? And then you'll laugh again! If you're an uptight christian then this movie isn't for you--however if you are one who thinks outside of the herd, watch this documentary...it's a good one.

Here's one (finally) for the spiritual but not stupid crowd.
- I rate this title iffy for age 17 and give itMy concerns are:
This movie is scary for anyone with a belief in a particular religion because it strongly questions and most often answers highly revelant parts of the religion.

For those who welcome challenges to conventional mores & ways of thinking
Let me start by saying our family are huge Bill Maher fans, and as such, we expected this film to be a lot snarkier than it was. But I was plesantly surprised by his debates with those who have opposite POV without demeaning them in the process. This is a great documentary to spark controversial conversations about the biggest unknown: Who or what is God? How can any one religion be *the* right one? How can aetheists be so sure there isn't a God? As far as entertainment, it is hilarious! And thought provoking.....and obviously for those who are open to something that may challenge the core of their beliefs.

- I rate this title on for age 12 and give it
- My highlights are:
It's fine. No biggie.
I'd let a 12 year old watch it, but then again I'm only 16. It's not particularly intelligent, and probably shouldn't be as provocative as it is in this country. Maher asks obvious questions of religious people and even some religious authorities. He takes some cheap shots, but there are also a few genuinely enlightening moments.
