Bichlbaum & Bonanno are naturally funny guys, which is great for character-building. But while they are activists before filmmakers, they are not established entertainers first. Maybe the sequel to this film will involve another test of their friendship when a comedy writer is added to the mix? Read full review

The PlaylistRodrigo PerezJun 11, 2015
The Yes Men Are Revolting is an entertaining and interesting examination of the anxieties that make us question who we are and if we’re making a difference. But on the whole, this minor film is not nearly as imperative as the vital activism these guys have dedicated their lives to. Read full review

The Yes Men show that while reality might get lost in this struggle, the truth does occasionally emerge from the chaos. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenJun 22, 2015
The faux press conferences and perverse inventions (SurvivaBall, anyone?) that are included here highlight corporate greed and governmental shortsightedness as shrewdly as ever. Read full review

Another entertaining mix of agitpop, pranksterism and autobiography. Read full review

SalonAndrew O'HehirJun 11, 2015
The great strength and great weakness of the Yes Men, not to put too fine a point on it, is that they’re a couple of dorks. Their props, costumes and supporting materials are invariably crude – but they are sincere and unafraid, or at least unafraid enough to brazen it out. Read full review

The New York TimesStephen HoldenJun 11, 2015
The Yes Men Are Revolting, their third film, has a personal poignancy that is missing in the forerunners, “The Yes Men” (2003) and “The Yes Men Fix the World” (2009). Read full review

Village VoiceDiana ClarkeJun 9, 2015
The Yes Men visit rural Uganda, Canadian oil fields, Zuccotti Park, and a climate change conference in Copenhagen, but in its best moments this loopy yet informative doc becomes a buddy movie. Read full review

In a way, their continued ability to prank government agencies and the media speaks to how little they’ve achieved over the years, which becomes this third film’s subject. Read full review

Washington PostMichael O'SullivanJun 18, 2015
Servin and Vamos clearly have a healthy sense of the absurd, which they use, like good satirists, to highlight hypocrisy, greed and corruption. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeJun 11, 2015
The film presupposes a bit more interest in the pair's friendship and personal lives than many viewers will have. Read full review

The DissolveAndrew LapinJun 9, 2015
Revolting plays with interesting ideas about how different generations of activists inspire and feed off of one another, but that theme plays out as blindly congratulatory. Read full review

New York PostKyle SmithJun 10, 2015
It’s a tiresome, preachy, repetitive, disorganized and dismally unfunny attempt to appeal to Michael Moore fans. The overall temperature of their efforts is strictly room: Call this “Fahrenheit 68.” Read full review
