Predictably, complaints about the film from liberals have not addressed the film's premise. [[Richard Dawkins]] claimed he was tricked into appearing, indicating that he had been told it would be a movie named ''Crossroads'' that would be focused on "exploring the controversy." (Two others who were similarly "deceived" said they would have appeared anyway.) In response, Ben Stein said that no one he interviewed asked what the film would be about, and the co-producer Walt Ruloff said at the preview that interviewees were paid and were even told ahead of time what the questions would be.<ref>Bethell, Tom, [http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=12759 No Intelligence Allowed] ''The American Spectator'', 19th February, 2008.</ref>

The stridently pro-[[evolution]] [[Scientific America]] criticized the film calling it "intellectually dishonest", however the magazine incorrectly stated the name of the central figure in it:  [[Richard Sternberg]], giving the review little credibilty.<ref>http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=ben-steins-expelled-review-john-rennie&page=1</ref>
