Negative Positive
Title: Anti-scientific religious propaganda, poorly produced.
Review: Ben Stein WISHES he could produce an inflammatory propaganda film with one-tenth the quality of his couterparts on the left. He can't, and "Expelled" proves it. Lousy in every respect: research, direction, editing, lighting, narration...you name it. Stein's lame attempt to discredit *real* scientists through clever editing and documented deception is a comic failure.Anyone with a college education--or a reasonably good high school education--understands the mechanisms of natural selection. Those who are educated *and* religious usually have little difficulty accepting scientific truth along with their faith; some don't and, like Stein, choose instead to attack biology because it threatens their deeply held mythologies and superstitions.Stein's cinematic tripe isn't going to change anyone's mind about evolution or religion; content aside, though, it is a very poorly produced film, and it has certainly exposed Stein as a hack.
