Pray inserts facts that are eye-popping (the food industry spends $34 billion annually on ads) and alarming (every year, the average child sees 20,000 TV commercials).

Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle

Art & Copy offers an intriguing -- some might say frightening -- glimpse into the world that has prompted a generation of Americans to religiously tune into the Super Bowl just to watch those short movies that sell product.

They are the giants of modern advertising, and they have some alluring tales to tell.

Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Fresh

An entertaining but also oddly naive documentary about American advertising.

Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten

When all is said and done, Art & Copy is little more than an ad for advertising.

V.A. Musetto, New York Post
