...someone with a similar bio-sketch to Maher's - a religious skeptic raised in a middle-class Catholic family - I might be expected to be a devout follower of Religulous. But I can't fully believe in it. Maher and Charles, the director of the Borat movie, should have come up with a rowdier, more penetrating exposé than this one. The film registers decently on the amuse-o-meter, and its offensiveness has a tonic value, but it's deficient in shape, propulsion, urgency.

The characters are incredibly one-dimensional, the dialogue is unnatural, and the acting is atrocious. Take Grace, for example, the abstinent and devout Christian who asks, as Ricky licks cookie dough off her fingers, “Does this count as oral?” Or take Amy’s dad, a creepy, tactless adulterer who asks his daughter, “Do you really want to go to school with a bunch of sluts...
