Leave your thoughts about The Muslims Are Coming!.
| Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesSupporting commentary comes from the likes of Jon Stewart, Lewis Black, and Rachel Maddow, but the real stars, rightly so, are Farsad and Obeidallah. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsThe movie's fun, a lot of it having nothing to do with its specific subject. |
| Los Angeles TimesAnnlee EllingsonThe hint at disagreement among the performers about who can and cannot call themselves Muslim is particularly provocative — a debate that would have been better off played out on-screen rather than summarized after the fact. |
| Linoleum KnifeAlonso DuraldeAn amusing and timely movie, even if it's basically a Daily Show sketch writ large. |
| Boston GlobeNick A. Zaino IIIThe Muslims Are Coming! is at its best when the comedians talk to real people outside the controlled environment of a stage. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckAlthough not wholly successful in its sociological aspirations, the film does provide both considerable laughs and food for thought. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoThe Muslims Are Coming achieves what it sets out to accomplish, offering an entrance point for a culture too few know much about in a consistently engaging way. |
| New York TimesMiriam BaleThis well-intentioned “docu-comedy” (as the filmmakers label it in publicity notes) is not very funny. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesBill StametsMuslim comics are correct about not needing to defend their faith in post-9/11 America. Their patriotism is not the point. I just wish they told better jokes. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsFor better and for worse, this feels less like a feature film than a stretched-out Daily Show segment. |
