Amazingly crap, surprisingly awful
rydermohsin20 June 2014
Whereas Penn and Teller used real doctors to prove vaccines were completely safe and provided logical rhetoric to the profit theories (vaccines account for a miserly 2% of pharmaceutical profits!), this "documentary", if you can call it that; preaches "natural healing" ha ha ha. The worst part is, unlike well made biased movies such as bowling for columbine, it's just plain boring. B.S., really is a great show, I don't just take their word for it, I do research for myself. They generally tell you the report or study they're getting their facts from so it's not hard to find them. It's just plain and simple, so many of the things we think are great or awful, are just a load of b.s.. Some stuff is obvious and just funny, such as Hippie junk which is mainly just used for the laughs, but at the same time the show also looks at our broken tax system and how gun laws do more harm than good. Whether you are a hardened liberal or conservative, give the show a watch and open up your eyes to how bad government really can be!

A Penn & Teller advertisement

I usually give two or three stars for bad movies, but this is just mindbogglingly awful.

The ridiculous content aside, even from an objective view, the way this material is shot, edited and presented is worse than amateurish.

I'm pretty sure they infringe on some copyrights here, as Penn & Teller probably didn't agree to the use of the Bullshit-theme, which is used a lot. And by that I mean a LOT. It really makes one go back and watch some of those old episode. It's a catchy track, after all.

The sound effects are the only things that are as hilariously funny as the faulty logic these people follow. Not for two hours, though.

Spoilers: Queen Elizabeth II. is planning to kill 6 billion people, Obama is a terrorist and Teller is Penn Jilette's unwilling slave.

Of course, 9/11 is also covered. Only the moon landing is missing. Enjoy.
