Here are a ton of reviews Claude:

rottentomatoes.com

" Although it's the most important film of the year, it will still be a hard sell to hard-headed truth-deniers."

-- Boo Allen, DENTON RECORD CHRONICLE (TX)
"If you see only one movie this year, make it An Inconvenient Truth. It may not be the year's best movie, or its most entertaining, but it's certainly the most terrifyingly crucial."

-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, COMBUSTIBLE CELLULOID
"Illuminating and distressing...a grave message indeed."

-- Jeanne Aufmuth, PALO ALTO WEEKLY

"A nonfiction disaster movie about the ultimate in non-partisan concerns, the fate of the planet."

-- John Beifuss, COMMERCIAL APPEAL (MEMPHIS, TN)
"A flat earth was inconvenient to Papal authority in Galileo's time. Now, what heresy is Gore committing with a scientifically based argument against contributing further to relentlessly destructive natural forces?"

-- Jules Brenner (FC), CINEMA SIGNALS
"Gore's "traveling global warming show" brims over with insight, idealism, and hope."

-- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, SPIRITUALITY AND PRACTICE

"For a doomsday lecture, it's shockingly entertaining. Well, on second thought maybe 'entertaining' isn't exactly the right word..."

-- Sean Burns, PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY
"Definitely propaganda on an issue that remains divisive....[but] Even if Gore is wrong, and I'm not saying he is, his proposed solutions are common-sensibly sound."

-- Peter Canavese, GROUCHO REVIEWS
"The movie is the message, and it's worth seeing."

-- Jeffrey Chen, WINDOW TO THE MOVIES
"What one comes away with hoping for the future is that we do not look back on Al Gore as we look back now on Eisenhower ("Why We Fight") or Edward R. Murrow ("Good Night, and Good Luck") - as a man who gave a warning unheeded. "

-- Laura Clifford, REELING REVIEWS
"In my heart of hearts, I know this isn't the best way to start a movie review. But in my heart of hearts, I also know I need to do what's right."

-- Linda Cook, QUAD CITY TIMES (DAVENPORT, IA)
"Truth succeeds at cutting through the clutter surrounding global warming by making a clear, compelling case for how our actions are affecting the planet."

-- Ethan Alter, PREMIERE MAGAZINE
"It's a mind-boggling disaster epic that draws its special power from the fact that we are both the villains and victims of the story."

-- William Arnold, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER

"This may be the first documentary in memory that will have audiences clamoring, "More hard data! More charts!""

-- Chris Barsanti, TOXICUNIVERSE.COM
"The movie's impact overcomes any discomfort with Gore or his politics."

-- Ralph Brave, ORLANDO WEEKLY
"Regardless of all the cacophonous naysaying, this is an absorbing documentary that gently pushes a message that all Americans of sound mind and good conscience can embrace: Let's work together to make the world a better place."

-- Matt Brunson, CREATIVE LOAFING
"It's as a piece of entertainment that the movie scores its most surprising victory, taking the audience on a dizzying emotional and intellectual journey."

-- Brett Buckalew, FILMSTEW.COM
"It's probably best to ignore the film's political subtext and simply concentrate on the message: global warming is real, we're responsible for it, and we can do something about it without ruining the U.S. economy. But we're running out of time."

-- Robert W. Butler, KANSAS CITY STAR
"The film makes [Gore] out to be a bigger martyr and a better savior than Jesus Christ, himself."

-- Kevin Carr, 7M PICTURES
"An Inconvenient Truth may be considered by some as liberal ranting by Al Gore, but Davis Guggenheim and all make a good case for his doomsday claims."

-- Robin Clifford, REELING REVIEWS
"Despite [its] weighty evidence, An Inconvenient Truth manages to transcend total doom and gloom in gratifyingly imaginative ways ..."

-- Carol Cling, LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
"On screen, Gore is persuasive and engaging, trotting out facts and photographs to go along with high-tech graphs that would make Ross Perot envious."

-- Thomas Delapa, BOULDER WEEKLY
"Informative and enlightening; one of those rare movies that absolutely must be seen."

-- Edward Douglas, COMINGSOON.NET


"[Y]ou don't need to like Gore, or trust him, or even believe him to get a swift kick in the pants, one that'll scare the hell out of you..."

-- MaryAnn Johanson, FLICK FILOSOPHER
94% Rating: Fresh Avg. Rating: 7.6/10

"The clarity and simplicity of the presentation is remarkable. Gore is a likable, confident, humorous speaker. And the material reminds us of the need for vigilance."

-- James Berardinelli, REELVIEWS
"A film that invests hard science with impassioned moral drive."

-- Amy Biancolli, HOUSTON CHRONICLE
"Will likely make you admire Al Gore a little more than you already do, worry about the planet a lot more than you already do, and finally, leave you with as many questions as when you started."

-- Michael Booth, DENVER POST
"... highly persuasive ..."

-- Kevin Crust, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"It will be interesting to watch how skeptics will deal with Gore’s bad news on the environment without making themselves look very small."

-- David Denby, NEW YORKER

"In 39 years, I have never written these words in a movie review, but here they are: You owe it to yourself to see this film. If you do not, and you have grandchildren, you should explain to them why you decided not to."

-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"Like an inventive and engrossing lecture by your favorite eighth-grade science teacher, making it an engaging movie, whatever your politics."

-- Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION
"An Inconvenient Truth can't, of course, reveal a future that is still up to us, but by the time you're done watching, the real question is, Which way on God's green earth would you want to err?"

-- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"An excellent educational tool."

-- Dennis Harvey, VARIETY
"Al Gore brings his campaign to reverse global warming to the big screen in this vivid and vital activist movie."

-- Kirk Honeycutt, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
( More... )

"If it all sounds a little contrived and too well-rehearsed, it is all on behalf of a greater good, since the statistics are individually alarming, collectively chilling and all but irrefutable."

-- Duane Dudek, MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL
