Overrated and overhyped
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
ILLUMINATING ANGELS & DEMONS (dir. Dan Hall) This documentary film offers a rather questionable analysis of Dan Brown's best selling mystery- thriller, ANGELS & DEMONS, but it's really only a collection of frivolous speculations and ill conceived assertions about ancient secret organizations and dubious conspiracies. Since no conclusive proof is put forth, their arguments rest on 'lack of evidence to the contrary', and this assertion is proof of nothing. For example, Bertrand Russell once postulated that there was a china teapot on an elliptical orbit between Earth and Mars that was too small to detect, and since no one could offer evidence to the contrary, then this would make the flying teapot a reality. Orbiting teapots or nefarious Freemasonry notwithstanding, this film can provide some entertainment value especially if you enjoy points of view that lack general approval or unusual interpretations of historical events. But be forewarned......"When you hear hoof-beats, don't think zebras".
