- 80The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe film’s congeniality, however, in no way dulls its humor or the sharpness of its observations.
- 50McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreMcClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreIf it’s not convincing as either a find-one’s-faith parable or clever spoof of pop Christianity, at least it’s relevant.
- 50Village VoiceDanny KingVillage VoiceDanny KingThe movie loses its zip as it becomes more dramatic.
- 50The DissolveChris KlimekThe DissolveChris KlimekWill Bakke’s Believe Me is a textbook lesson in how glossy cinematography and an appealing cast can compensate for an undercooked script.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckNeither an inspirational faith-based film nor an attack on Christian dogma, Will Bakke’s comedy/drama Believe Me plays like a religious variation of "Risky Business" minus the sex.
- What is most egregious, and seems completely lost on the filmmakers, is that the film is the very thing it attempts to expose: a pandering cash-in on faith-based films disguising itself as an honest examination of belief. And that, true believers, is unforgivable.
