KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANI saw the movie it’s first night out.
I liked the movie, but must offer that it is more academic than entertaining.
I would be very surprised if anybody posting on FR admitted that it changee their mind.
In my opinion, it will reinforce the believers and only frustrate the non-believers.
From another FR thread, here is an excellent interview of Ben Stein by RC Sproul before the movie came out. These two touched on some very interesting perspectives.

The movie is about academia being heavy handed about anyone who questions dogma, by asking questions that they can't answer.
Blackballing and attacking other academics has never been good science.
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANFor those who may not already be aware, Obama supports eugenics.
Saw it! Loved it! Will see it again!
I took a course on this...amazing how Hitler found Progressive ideas to be a great way to implement genocide.
Very powerful, well done - will buy the DVD when it comes out.
Unfortunately, based on everything I've heard about Mr. Stein's much needed movie, even Mr. Stein seems to be unaware of the broader problem of the USSC's unlawful stifling of free religious speech in public schools.
From another related thread...
In 1987, The Supreme Court of the United States ruled that teaching creationism in public schools violated the separation of church and state in Edwards vs. Aquilard.If anybody wants to see the USSC's bogus separation of church and state disappear before their eyes, a politically correct perversion of our constitutional religious freedoms that was wrongly legislated from the bench when the Court decided Cantwell v. Connecticut in 1940, then please read the following post. Note that while the post concerns a 10 Commandments issue it is also applicable to this thread.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1992174/posts?page=22#22Note, for instance, that the states have the constitutional power (10th A.) to authorize public schools to lead non-mandatory (14th A.) classroom discussion on the pros and cons of evolution, creationism and irreducible complexity, as examples, regardless that atheists, separatists, secular judges and the liberal media are misleading the people to think that doing such things in public schools is unconstitutional.
The bottom line, as mentioned in the referenced post, is that the people need to reconnect with the Founder's division of federal and state powers, particularly where the wrongly ignored 10th A. power of the states to address religious issues is concerned, power now limited by the honest interpretation of the 14th Amendment. The people then need to get in the faces of renegade justices and do a major spring cleaning where USSC respect for our religious freedoms is concerned. President Lincoln put it this way.
"We the People are the rightful master of both congress and the courts - not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution." --Abraham Lincoln (Political debates between Lincoln and Douglas), 1858.
I loved the movie, and so did my husband. We don’t always like the same movies, but we both enjoyed this one tremendously.
It was an excellent documentary, but it had it’s light moments, as well, thanks to Ben Stein’s facetious humor. The audience laughed a bunch of times, and at the end the of movie, the audience applauded.
It’s so sad that the hard left is trying to silence ID scientists and professors, and have even fired some scientists for even mentioning ID.
