This Canadian one-sheet for Religulous is much grabbier than the rather soft versions that have come out of Lionsgate (example #1 and example #2).

Is this a real documentary or some kind of fake mockumentary?

LOL! Love it. Clever, edgy, effective, FUNNY poster. I can't wait to see this film. I hope it does well for itself at the box office.

Think the "face in the cheese sandwich" ad was much better done. But face it, no one who really needs to see this film will go see it.

Terry McCarty says ...

I see this as another flop a la Spurlock's Bin Laden opus.

Two reasons:
1. The Michael Moore template seems to only work these days with Michael Moore.
2. The "we believe we're too smart for religion" brand of trendoid atheism seems to have peaked with Hitchens' book.

Terry: The thing about Spurlock's film was that it came out a few years too late after the public also lost interest in Bin Laden. The Maher film, OTOH, might succeed for the same reason Dogma succeeded-unless it doesn't get as much press.

The Michael Moore template doesn't even work with Michael Moore anymore. Not only did Sicko do middling business, it didn't even spark the intended national discussion on healtcare.

One thing that might help Religulous is for the Christian Right to come down hard, condemn it from the pulpit and give it enough "bad" publicity that people will be curious to see what all the fuss is about.
