Nine percent of film critics have given positive reviews to Ben Steins new movie EXPELLED, No intelligence necessary that questions the notion of random life versus intelligent design. In contrast, Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth” is adored by 93 percent of the critics notwithstanding its nonscientific premise. The New York Times uses some choice words to describe the movie, stating that it is a “conspiracy-theory rant masquerading as investigative inquiry.” Time magazine fumes that “the man made famous by Ferris Bueller . . . quickly wades into waters far too deep for him.”

The public apparently isn’t listening. “Expelled” had a huge opening weekend for a documentary with a radioactive topic. It placed ninth with a box-office take of $3.1 million. By comparison, Morgan Spurlock, director of “Super Size Me,” debuted his “Where in the World Is Osama bin Laden?” documentary on the same weekend. Spurlock’s film took in an embarrassing $143,300.
