Chicago Reader
Lisa Alspector
Beautiful story of doomed love.

60
LA Weekly
F. X. Feeney
Writer-director Hernandez is comfortable with violent, perverse emotions, and can find humor in them -- a refreshing quality that keeps one watching long after her movie has jumped its own tracks and zoomed to a private world of obscurely motivated quarrels and uninvolving reconciliations.

60
Village Voice
Nico Baumbach
This amateurish no-budget effort has earnest charm, and a sensitivity to the tragic dimension of amour fou that saves it from lapsing into shtick.

40
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
The downside is that it all feels like a big in-joke, and you're not in on it.

30
The New York Times
Anita Gates
A muddled film with John Waters aspirations.

25
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
A lobotomized attempt to make a no-budget John Waters movie, Men Cry Bullets is a painful reminder of just how bad indie cinema can be - especially when it plays with gender roles. It's desperately unfunny and dreadfully acted, written and directed.

25
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
Strains to be shockingly original but winds up as cheap and cheesy as its characters.

25
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
The acting is more amateurish than Billy's diva act, and for all its ambitious editing, the film looks like something made in the Addams Family's attic.

0
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The race is on for worst film of the year honors. Among the top contenders: Men Cry Bullets.

0
San Francisco Examiner
Wesley Morris
Overlong, naggingly pretentious, more absurd than absurdist and a cruel, cruel bore.
