"What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?" is a documentary from over 10 years ago that runs for almost 2 hours and tries to make an impact with its messages about religion, life and general well-being. However, it all feels very awkward from start to finish and I never felt the message that the movie was trying to deliver us. Well.. actually there is a lot of acting in this film, so you could only call it a documentary to some extent. For example, Oscar winner Marlee Matlin appears here, but the acting wasn't either on a level where I would say that I was impressed. But you cannot really blame the actors as the script was just too weak and also not full enough of memorable content for such a runtime. The ratings here on IMDb and on critics websites are accurate I would say. it is not a complete failure, but also not a good movie by any means. Overall, I give it a thumbs down.

What a shockingly rough movie to watch. While there are plenty of clues in the film itself, it's pretty hard to discover who is REALLY behind the movie without digging deep: The Ramtha School of Enlightment (or RSE). RSE is another Scientology-like "cult"-like religion, so BE ADVISED that you are in for a namby-pamby recruiting tool rather than an informative movie if you go to see "What the Bleep Do We Know". The movie: Marlee Matlin mugs and grimaces her way through this horrendously-directed digital atrocity, making for plenty of unintentional and embarrassing laughs as she mouths her dialogue in classic "deaf" accent, surrounded by headache-inducing, often intrusive CGI animation (the entire theme of which is ripped straight from the classic short film "Powers of Ten"). The film presents a universe so perfectly caucasian that when ethnicity is finally portrayed you actually get a WISE BLACK BOY WITH A BASKETBALL (I'm not kidding) and a Native American in full stereotypical feathered head-dress. Matlin's character lives in a faux-industrial yuppie loft (appropriate, considering it was shot in the loft-happy Pacific Northwest) and has a "wacky" artist roommate.Furthermore, the film is so unsure of itself and its narrative that it winds up playing any attempts at humor with equally broad strokes; within one atrocious set piece (an apparent Polish wedding) there is a "Polack" joke which goes un-challenged, grotesque sub-Pixar CGI creatures running about, "Porky's"-level teen sex gags, an embarrassing "polka" dance number and even a very graphic near-porn moment or two. All of this "legitimized" by the often spaced-out meanderings of various real-life scientists, mystics (yes, mystics), chiropractors and writers, who throw quantum theory at the viewer through a series of impenetrable interviews (and none of the voices are given screen identification until the end of the film). There's even a totally out of place sequence discussing crystals, sure to tickle the new-agers in the audience. It all doesn't add up to a hill of beans in any informational sense... 108 minutes of a handful of simple messages, among them: addiction is bad, right and wrong can get very confused, black children aren't all thugs and monogamy is always for the birds.Previous cult leaders have made movies before; remember The "Moonies"' Reverend Sun Myung Moon and "Inchon"? At least that was basically just a dull war movie, rather than a blatant recruitment tool for a cult. You have been warned.

It's a real mess, which uses very bad part of science that cares for your purposes (economic).Mix a pseudo (former investigators) with a mystical invented (Disciples of Ramtha) and using an empty language lists a series of hoaxes scientifically untenable.In the end, what interests them is Aptar people to pay their courses initiation into the cult of Ramtha.It seems a dangerous film to serve a cult. Unfortunately I had the misfortune to attend a workshop that explained everything this and that made a final and concentration exercises. were be hyperventilation exercises!Film to avoid.

If I had known about facepalming back in the day when this first came out, I would have bruised my forehead. This stuff isn't just bad it goes well beyond that. Then again this piece of trash featured Judy Zebra Knight (born Judith Darlene Hampton), an American mystic teacher known for claiming to be the channel of a spiritual entity named Ramtha...When Knight says she is channeling Ramtha she speaks mostly in English in what sounds like an accent from the Indian Raj,[22][23] sometimes in a simplistic way. The claimed entity "Ramtha" has expressed confusion about modern items (or even the ability to read English),[24] although he seems to have clear understanding of complex issues of modern physics, such as the quantum field or neurology, which appear frequently in his speeches.[25] During the channeling of Ramtha, JZ Knight behaves a bit differently and speaks in a deeper and stern voice. In his teachings "Ramtha" has made several controversial statements such as that Christianity is a "backward" religion, that Jesus' parables can be explained by means of photon waves and probability,[26] that "murder isn't really wrong or evil" (if one believes in reincarnation),[20] or (during the court case JZ Knight v Jeff Knight) Jeff Knight stated that Ramtha had declared that HIV is Nature's way of 'getting rid of' homosexuality.[26]
