Critic Reviews

  • Ty Burr, Boston Globe

    Greenwald has fashioned a fine attack dog, and he's sicced it on a deserving subject.

  • Bill Muller, Arizona Republic

    Taken for what it is, Outfoxed is still worth watching, especially for the politically active.

  • Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News

    Makes a crucial argument that has less to do with conservatives and liberals than with the coarsening of political discourse and the sinking standards of journalism and news -- subjects that go far beyond any particular news operation.

  • Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee

    As hugely entertaining as it is informative.

  • Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News

    While Outfoxed surely will appeal more to liberals than to conservatives, its value to its self-selected audience lies not in upending anyone's expectations, but in taking the uninitiated down the Fox News rabbit hole.

Featured Audience Ratings

  • Thomas J


    No real surprises here. Most that watch this movie has already seen through Fox News and what it is and represents.

  • Drew S


    "If you aren't outraged, you aren't paying attention."

  • James A


    A great documentary on right wing propoganda.

  • Jeremy S


    While watching this documentary I could not stop laughing. It has to be the funniest documentary I have ever seen. How can it call FOX news biased, which it probably is, when the documentary itself is biased. A great comedy.

  • Burger S


    If you haven't figured out yet that Fox News has an agenda, see this movie. This is already seven years old. Just watch any given week of The Daily Show or The Colbert Report to see what dirty tricks they've been up to lately.
