Trivia:
The film used the fake working title "A Spiritual Journey" in order to obtain interviews with religious leaders. They did not know that Bill Maher was involved in the film until he arrived for the interviews. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: It has never been taught by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that black people will become white people or vice versa. Some Book of Mormon characters have had skin color changes upon repentance. It has been taught that a skin of blackness has been given to select individuals for their sins. This is biblical (Cain and Noah's son) as well as in the Book of Mormon (The Lamanites). more
Quotes:
Bill Maher: And I see you've got a lot of bling.
Jerry Cummings: I like gold. The people want you to look well.
Bill Maher: That's what pimps say about their women.

Two things about this film took away a star. One was that Bill Maher spent so much time with the ones he tried to make look bad that he didn't meet with enough experts who could further the points he was making. The second problem is that the people he interviewed could have easily made fools of themselves without him cutting them off and lecturing them. That being said, let's get to the good points.

For one thing, he makes it so clear how illogical the mass amount of people can be. He exposes phony beliefs and shows how they can become very protective against his film crew. The film stock they put into use is done masterfully. Plenty of laugh out loud moments (particularly the image of Jesus as a teenager, you will see). My word must be taken as truth when I say that the final part of the film MUST be seen. This isn't just about cracking jokes on faith. This film is about the human race taking responsibility of itself and stopping the damage it has been doing for far too long.

I truly hope religious people are not quick to brush this film off. For once, listen to the side from someone who is sincerely concerned about all of our futures.
