Rotten
[The film is] arguably as effective as Ambien at inducing sleep, but possible side effects include uncontrollable laughter.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Rotten
A delectable fusion of New Age babble and luridly bad filmmaking based on the best-selling 1993 book by James Redfield.
Manohla Dargis, New York Times
Rotten
The movie is flatly acted and extremely ill-paced, lacking any sense of urgency, momentum or fun.
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
The Celestine Prophecy Movie never transcends either the look or the feel of a cult recruitment film crossed with a Christian-network infomercial.
Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly
