Includes appearances by Fred Thompson, Charles Krauthammer, Fred Barnes, Michael Medved and many others.

Critic Reviews
-
Robert Koehler, Variety
As a return volley to Moore's cinema, Celsius shares Moore's blatant agit-prop but none of his humor or entertainment sense.

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Celsius 41.11 is so bad it's almost like performance art, or those cheap records from the '60s, where the Chipmunks sing the Beatles' greatest hits.
-
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice
The even faintly informed will see only a cut-rate vision of flabby white men defending their own bloodthirsty opportunism.
-
Philip Kennicott, Washington Post
There's really nothing more here than you can find watching dreadful political advertisements and dreadful political talk shows.
-
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
There is little new in this mostly dry and humorless defense of President Bush, which adds a little heat but not a whole lot of light to the political debate.
