Why not write a review for the good folks who might be deluded into actually buying it. Mine is posted under the title of Utter Tripe, although I did give it one star.
Go here for the skinny.

I felt the same way but I'm not going to get to see it. The Baptist church down the road isn't going to show it, so I won't be getting the invite I angled for when it came out.
Nevertheless, I've read enough reviews, the pro as well as the con, that my conscience is clear.

Fair enough, your conscience is clearer then mine. It looks like the Amazon entry is getting bombed by people who don't like the movie. Wonder how long until we start seeing the same number of reviews in favor for it.  |

Well, he did say if you "If you've seen it, maybe you'd care to go give it an honest review?" 
I have not seen it, so I cannot review it. Odds are I will never see it (I certainly will not pay to see it, and I won't steal it either.) |

| This movie is one I will definitely skip. I was bored into a near comatose state by Ben Stein's voice halfway through the trailer. No way I'm going to view a whole movie with that voice, I might never wake up. |

Why would you spend all that money to buy that movie. I just picked up a four movie combo consisting of:
Spies like us, The man with two brains, Vegas vacation and The man who knew too little from WalMart for a measly $5 canadian. While none of the movies are brilliantly hilarious, they are all slighly amusing, worth the time spent watching them and - at the price sold at - really good value. Should I find Expelled in the same bargain bin in a couple of months, I might give it a go. It will probably also be slightly amusing - although that was never intended. |

| I'll be putting the film on Netflix just because I pay the same for that no matter how many movies I (and my wife and kid) watch, so I can dilute the value of Expelled by renting lots of other movies that same month. |
