83
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Stefan Ulstein
A thinker's film about the ever-shifting paradigm of man-woman relationships.
75
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Blunt, alternately prurient, funny and depressing.
75
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
One of the most quietly powerful endings in recent memory.
63
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
Beneath its glitz, poses, and pub crawlers and club prowlers, it's an old-fashioned morality tale.
63
Philadelphia Inquirer
Desmond Ryan
The kind of date movie that should do a lot to promote celibacy.
63
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
Like an episode of "Friends" where the entire cast has been given aphrodisiacs and locked up.
50
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
An ultra-stylized, empty mess.
50
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Suffers from a fatal misapprehension. It thinks it is about date rape, when actually it is about alcoholism.
50
Baltimore Sun
Chris Kaltenbach
All the young talent in Hollywood is not enough to energize a movie that takes forever to get nowhere.
50
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.
40
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.
40
LA Weekly
Paul Cullum
A creepy clinical voyeurism and condescending empathy that can't help but alienate its intended audience.
40
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.
40
Austin Chronicle
Sarah Hepola
A bleak, depressing film.

Gemma Files
Flirts with the idea of insight.

USA Today
Staff [Not Credited]
Audiences everywhere will tune out long before the projector does.
34
Mr. Showbiz
Kevin Maynard
Plays out like a raunchy, substandard WB soap.
30
Dallas Observer
Gregory Weinkauf
Unhampered by imagination and driven solely by libido.
30
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
A grim, sour view of single life.
30
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
Tries so hard to be cool that it forgets to be alive.
30
TNT RoughCut
Tom Cappello
All it really propagates is overly dramatic scenes plagiarized from last month's high school date rape seminar.
30
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Trash.
30
Newsweek
Esther Pan
Rapidly veers towards tired 80's territory rather than offering anything new and fresh.
25
Entertainment Weekly
Bruce Fretts
A distasteful zeitgeist cocktail tracking the booze-fueled sexcapades of eight repellent L.A. singles.
25
Miami Herald
Phoebe Flowers
It's not the sort of movie you watch; it's the sort that assaults you.
20
Variety
Robert Koehler
Fires nothing but blanks.

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

Village Voice
Jessica Winter
Vomitous.
