Critic Reviews

Dennis Harvey

An ensemble seriocomedy that's initially loose to a fault, but gradually wins one over with its shaggy charm -- and by the close has grown more ambitious, and poignant, than initial reels lead you to expect. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

Has a charming, skittish quality, and Lewis finds pathos and humor in his characters' often painful search for love. Read full review

Mark Holcomb

The climactic shocker is far too exacting, but Lewis nails the milieu, and has the sense to not spell out every motivation in capital letters. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

It's not a total shock when this gay romantic comedy suddenly veers into to heavy S&M, non-consensual sex and suicide. Read full review

Dave Kehr

Relentlessly bright and superficial, even when the subject turns to self-destruction. Read full review

Frank Scheck

The lack of a meaningful story would be easier to take if the dialogue was wittier or the characterizations were deeper, but the proceedings are instead surprisingly bland considering the outrageousness of many of the situations. Read full review
