The half-ingenious, half-ludicrous third act makes observations about class and legacy worth thinking about. It calls to mind Jeff Nichols's "Shotgun Stories." Read full review

Breaking the Girls isn't exactly a throwaway, but more an extended act of teasing foreplay, a movie that is fine for what it is but also never really shifts into something more. Read full review

A decently acted, often drolly funny, tautly directed thriller that proves to be a Russian doll of motivations, coincidences, and plot-twists; it would have been more satisfying if it weren't so unnecessarily convoluted. Read full review

An erotic thriller with too many twists and back stories to count. Read full review

Babbit's flat direction has none of the lurid appeal or humor that (along with a much more appealing cast) sustained John McNaughton's notionally similar "Wild Things" through crazy plot contrivances. Read full review

Shamelessly exploitative, but never entertainingly so. Read full review

If you go in with low expectations, this is a hoot. The movie doesn't take itself too seriously. Good sexy, trashy fun. I also liked the Indy flavor of the song choices.

Bad directing, acting, editing, story, and character development. The movie made me laugh a few times, not because it was intentionally trying to be funny (which it did try and fail at), but because it was just so awful. The story literally makes no sense, characters are introduced at randomBad directing, acting, editing, story, and character development. The movie made me laugh a few times, not because it was intentionally trying to be funny (which it did try and fail at), but because it was just so awful. The story literally makes no sense, characters are introduced at random just for the sake of the plot. The hilarity of it's godawful representation of "romance" is the only thing it has going for it.… Expand
