Mr. Showbiz
Kevin Maynard
An entertaining but insubstantial romantic thriller loaded with Euro-chic trappings and no small amount of sex appeal.
75
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
A solidly crafted, entertaining melodrama.

67
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
You may roll your eyes a bit at the glib, transparent, indie-grunge romanticism.

63
New York Post
Rod Dreher
That insinuating, sublime atmosphere is consistently being intruded upon by the distractingly silly plot.
50
Village Voice
Jessica Winter
B. Monkey is crawling with smart actors saying things they don't quite mean.

50
The New York Times
Anita Gates
The best part of B. Monkey is reveling in the dark side of Rupert Everett.

Marsha McCreadie
A sort of "Pretty Woman" for the underworld.

50
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
As skilled, resourceful actors, (Argento and Harris) make...a more believable couple than you would have thought possible.

TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Overall the film is a stylish lark with no resonance, a mean-spirited one-night stand of a movie.

LA Weekly
Paul Malcolm
Unfortunately, none of the characters -- despite the film's strong cast -- ever seems worthy of the attention.
