    This is a serious look at the corrupting influences of fame, money and entertainment, and what it says about us may be even more damning than what it says about its participants.

    Part documentary, part parody, and part something indefinable, the film manages to succeed on its own terms and entertain on just about anyone's.

    As a viewer, we intuit that it is more, or less, than it seems: That in some sense, the whole project is a scam.

    It isn't entirely clear if Games People Play is a spot-on but longwinded and excessively campy spoof of those TV "reality" game shows... or just a particularly ingenious and sleazy example of the genre.
