 h Bill Maher. You just love controversy and shit disturbing, don’t you? The man who was kicked off network television for a single statement after 9/11 has decided to bring his distinct brand of caustic humor to the big screen. The topic of his feature filmmaking debut is one that’s sure to rally up plenty of protesters and death threats: he’s talkin’ bout religion. Bill Maher is vocal atheist who has spent years attacking religion through standup, talk show appearances, his TV shows and to pretty well anyone who will listen to him for longer than 30 seconds. He has some good points and is an undeniably funny man, but he also backs his humor with an unyielding confidence and gleeful schoolboy desire to offend that upsets as many as it entertains. That’s just the Maher style and fans will be pleased to know that it appears in full force in Religulous.
Bill Maher’s partner in crime for this hellbound cinematic venture is director Larry Charles, a man who has proven himself to be adept at mocking middle American values through his work on Borat and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Together they make a satirically fearless pair and Religulous is nothing if not uncompromising in the way it brings down sacred cows.
