Leave your thoughts about Salvation Boulevard.
| New York PostLou LumenickIt's a reasonably funny religious satire that takes potshots at easy targets but is quite watchable due to the participation of two Oscar winners and two Oscar nominees. |
| UGOJordan HoffmanThe performances are histrionic and abrasive, in what feels like a rushed production where no one had the time to come up with a unique spin on the material. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonSilly, predictable and as funny as the funny business of religion can be. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonSalvation Boulevard wins exclusively on the strength of its cast. |
| Philadelphia City PaperSam AdamsUnless you've got a thing for watching Oscar winners shriek themselves silly, you'd be better off praying at a another altar. |
| AV ClubNoel MurraySalvation Boulevard doesn't seem to have any higher aspiration than illustrating how religious people can be hypocrites. (Gosh, who knew?) |
| Shared DarknessBrent SimonA toothless satire, either unwilling or unable to commit to a darker path. |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceIf only Ratliff had figured out a decent way to end it, this might have been one of the best comedies of the year. |
| Film School RejectsRobert LevinThe movie seems to be intoxicated by how funny it thinks it is, gleefully descending into a swell of hyperactivity, with each new scene engineered to one-up the last. |
| Associated PressJake CoyleDespite the talents of Greg Kinnear, Pierce Brosnan, Marisa Tomei, Ed Harris, Jennifer Connelly, Ciaran Hinds, Yul Vazquez and Jim Gaffigan, "Salvation Boulevard" is far less than the sum of its fine, character-actor parts. |
