Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , 83% of 48 critics' reviews are positive.The website's consensus reads: "Half enviro-saving doc, half publicity stunt, No Impact Man is inspiring and fun to both casual activists and hardcore recyclers." [4] Metacritic , which uses a weighted average , assigned the film a score of 66 out of 100, based on 22 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews. [5]

John Anderson of Variety wrote, "Proof that 'eco' and 'entertainment' aren't mutually exclusive, No Impact Man may be a socially progressive, environmentally conscious film, but it goes down far easier than, say, an all-natural, fiber-enriched peanut butter sandwich without a glass of soy milk." [2]
