Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

DKosty123 This series takes serious issues (recently the fast food proposals) & uses experts to go over both sides of the argument. Penn & Teller entertaining host this tour & of course add their spin to the issue. While it is not their traditional magic act, this series on pay cable is worthwhile viewing as they try to sift out the Bull S**** on serious issues. Penn speaks & Tellers illustrates everything about the issue as they go along, & they do keep things going with good humor.Penn & Teller are one of the class acts in Las Vegas. They are outstanding performers who you should try to see @ the RIO when your there. Penn does most of the talking in this team that I'd equate to the Laurel & Hardy of Magic. At six feet and seven inches, he towers over lots of folks. Intellectually, he towers over lots of folks too. Very often his dialogs are so cerebral that his logic goes over the audiences heads. Usually when that happens, he realizes what he has done and explains it to the folks who have been lost on the way.Teller is in a class by himself. He does not speak, but his actions often speak as loud as Penns words. Together they are as unique as any team operating today. They do lots of enjoyable things & are sure to please any audience. Their comedy is as great as their magic. Bullshit highlights this quite well.When I saw them @ the RIOS in Vegas, they put on a great show too. They start seating the audience in their theater an hour early. A Jazz Pianist & Bass Player play tunes for that entire hour to warm up the audience. There is an audience participation activity during the music as well.Then they do a series of acts that are quite astounding. After their live show, they meet with everyone in the lobby for photos, autographs & show overall their class & showmanship. During this recession, they are one of the few acts who have "Sold more mementos than last year." While your @ the RIO, besides visiting Penn & Tellers lounge, try to visit the VOODOO lounge. You will enjoy the experience, & it is just a little bonus to the show.Bullshit is not too be missed on TV, & their live show is not too be missed in Vegas. I am still looking for the blonde that disappeared during the show, I had a date with her.

killbot-prime I love this show. It's far from perfect, but it is indeed entertaining and more accurate than not.Almost as amusing to me as the show, however, are the people who find it so offensive and feel that they must attack it. Reading the submissions, I have taken great pleasure in chortling at the pre-literate scrawlings of those who hate the show the most. The majority of the negative comments are quite nearly illegible.To all of the misguided people who think the show is "right wing": Penn and Teller are libertarians (note the lower case l, it's important) and should never be referred to as "right wing" by anyone with a clue. (l)ibertarians find left and right to be equally pathetic and almost universally wrong.P&T are entertainers who perform 6 nights a week in Las Vegas where they make a great deal of money. Their income from Showtime is not going to come close to their Vegas earnings, so if you were thinking they're selling out, you're wrong and will need to start the critical thinking process over again.Yes, they employ vulgarity, nudity, and snarky comments in their war on stupidity and institutional ignorance. No, they don't always argue as completely or compellingly as one might hope, but they are out there doing something that no one else is bothering to do...and they're doing it pretty well.American Communists have the DNC and NPR; American Fascists have the GOP and Fox News. Us libertarians apparently only get P&T for 30 minutes a week.I'll gratefully accept BS! as it is until Penn & Teller die or someone else does it better. After all, I think for myself and I know entertainment when I see it.

MartinHafer The magicians, Penn and Teller, are very Libertarian in their views and because of this, their political bent is towards smaller government, less intrusive laws and a willingness to attack both Conservatives and Liberals alike. I love this Showtime series--even though occasionally it offends me. That's because 99% of the TV shows out there never think to question much of anything--even though "common knowledge" is often 100% wrong because,...well...people are stupid! As of this date, the show has five seasons behind it and they have attacked many "sacred cows"--such as asserting that recycling is usually a BAD thing, pornography and nudity is GOOD, being fat isn't much of a health risk and religion is for idiots. While I wouldn't agree with them about their views on religion and a few other things, I love that they actually dare to address the topics and are fully exercising their first amendment rights to free speech. Plus, when I see that they are offending people for whom I have little respect, I can't help but shout "amen"! The style of the show is unique because it is a combination of a documentary, humor and crassness (with a heaping spoonful of obscenities). While I can ignore all the profanity (especially the thousands of "f-words") and I can ignore all the gratuitous nudity (which, after all, fits in with the team's Libertarian bent), I really wish they had toned this down and chosen a different title for the show because I would love to be able to show these episodes to the high school teachers I teach. Unfortunately, because of the show's style, that will never happen--or, I'll show an episode and just wait to be fired! Aside from kids, this show SHOULD be watched by everyone. Sure, it's bound to offend you--but it will also make you think and shock you out of complacency. While in the end you may not be convinced (in a couple episodes, I think their logic wasn't quite correct--though usually they were dead on target), you can't help but think and re-assess what you think and why. It's just too bad that practically NOTHING on TV today does that other than PENN & TELLER: BULLSHIT!.

OlYankee Carl Sagan would be proud to see this "live-action" version of his Baloney Detection Kit.Penn & Teller use logic, reason, evidence, and the other tools of freethinkers (love that term, how ironic the dogmatists try to use it as "derogatory") to cut to the quick of preposterous claims, no matter how popular they happen to be (organized religion, anyone?).After all the crap the proponents of such phooey have gotten away with for years, I can understand why Penn's language tends toward the outrageous. He's just settling some old scores, and putting things back in equilibrium.Excellent show. Watch it with your Pentecostal aunt or weird hoax-believing uncle.
