Saw the film last Friday. Pretty good. No so much of a thoughtful critique of religion, but more of a lampoon. You knew that anyway. Very much in the tone of Borat with the style of Michael Moore's stuff--interviews with quick cuts to stock footage.
The Christians and Muslims bear the brunt of most of the attacks. The Jews take a jab or two. Maher actually seems sympathetic at times to some of the religious folks.
My favorite part is when he's discussing Mormonism and their belief that the Native Americans are the lost tribe of Israel. A quick cut is made to Brooks's Blazing Saddles with Indians on horseback speaking Yiddish.
Lotsa LOLs. Definitely worth seeing. Great Sunday matinee flick.
