Body Shots

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Stefan Ulstein

A thinker's film about the ever-shifting paradigm of man-woman relationships.

New York Daily News Jack Mathews

Blunt, alternately prurient, funny and depressing.

San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle

One of the most quietly powerful endings in recent memory.

Boston Globe Jay Carr

Beneath its glitz, poses, and pub crawlers and club prowlers, it's an old-fashioned morality tale.

Philadelphia Inquirer Desmond Ryan

The kind of date movie that should do a lot to promote celibacy.

Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington

Like an episode of "Friends" where the entire cast has been given aphrodisiacs and locked up.

New York Post Jonathan Foreman

An ultra-stylized, empty mess.

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

Suffers from a fatal misapprehension. It thinks it is about date rape, when actually it is about alcoholism.

Baltimore Sun Chris Kaltenbach

All the young talent in Hollywood is not enough to energize a movie that takes forever to get nowhere.

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

Constant shifts between past and present and between individual stories creates varying perspectives that add dimension and insight to material that might play tritely if presented in straightforward narrative form.

The New York Times Lawrence Van Gelder

More focused on surface than true revelation.

Film.com Robert Horton

I haven't got the slightest idea whether these characters are meant as satirical targets or as a reasonably fair cross-section of Today's Youth.

LA Weekly Paul Cullum

A creepy clinical voyeurism and condescending empathy that can't help but alienate its intended audience.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh

This flashy and ultimately conservative morality tale relies on shockingly frank sex talk to cover the fact that the characters are shockingly poorly developed.

Austin Chronicle Sarah Hepola

A bleak, depressing film.

Film.com Gemma Files

Flirts with the idea of insight.

USA Today Staff [Not Credited]

Audiences everywhere will tune out long before the projector does.

Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard

Plays out like a raunchy, substandard WB soap.

Dallas Observer Gregory Weinkauf

Unhampered by imagination and driven solely by libido.

Salon.com Charles Taylor

A grim, sour view of single life.

Washington Post Stephen Hunter

Tries so hard to be cool that it forgets to be alive.

TNT RoughCut Tom Cappello

All it really propagates is overly dramatic scenes plagiarized from last month's high school date rape seminar.

Rolling Stone Peter Travers

Trash.

Newsweek Esther Pan

Rapidly veers towards tired 80's territory rather than offering anything new and fresh.

Entertainment Weekly Bruce Fretts

A distasteful zeitgeist cocktail tracking the booze-fueled sexcapades of eight repellent L.A. singles.

Miami Herald Phoebe Flowers

It's not the sort of movie you watch; it's the sort that assaults you.

Variety Robert Koehler

Fires nothing but blanks.

Film.com John Hartl

With any luck, Body Shots will quickly slide into video obscurity.

Village Voice Jessica Winter

Vomitous.
