"Lon Charles' BELIEVE IT OR NOT! is Seth MacFarlane's best-directed movie, With MacFarlane giving a charming performance. But the script doesn't take advantage of its supporting cast and some personal drama of Ripley's life. Out of Lon Charles' films, this was the most underwhelming." - Diana Powers, The Independent

"Believe it or not, I never thought I would see the story of Robert Ripley told on the big screen. Seth MacFarlane delivers as both star and director, a wonderful adventure film that sees various parts of the world, Believe it or Not is great for the whole family to enjoy. If you like interesting tidbits and facts, then you will like this film." - J. Johnson, DailyMovieNews.com

"Even when things get more serious in Believe It or Not!, the story never stops being infectiously fun. The adventure scenes are fantastic in every possible way, with Seth MacFarlane's performance perfectly capturing the scene of wonder the Ripley must have had in his life. I just wish there had been more time for other globetrotting scenes, but obviously the filmmakers didn't want to make a 4-hour film (I would've watched it though)." - Phil Silva, The Atlantic

Rated PG-13 for thematic material, language and some sexual content
