While it's not a great movie, it's a revealing study of how long it often takes for businesspeople to realize they're being freaked out, not flattered.

Breezy, brief, and often a howl.
75
Amazing in what it shows, but underwhelming in what it does with it.
70
Yes, The Yes Men is funny, but it's humor that hurts.
70
A sobering yet hysterically funny documentary.
60
Diverting if heavily padded, this is the newest addition to an increasingly crowded field of political nonfiction films and certainly the easiest viewing.
30
A few minutes of inspired lunacy aside, The Yes Men is largely a case of the same old preachers preaching to the same old choir.

There are definately some laugh-out-loud moments here. All in all though, it's just a bit too budget gonzo documentary to satisfy. Maybe it would have made a better short film. Warning to those with sensitive embarrasment glands: Uncomfortable scenes of crowds of earnest types being duped and not realising it.
