    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Ernest Hardy
    Elevated by fantastic performance footage of Sa and his young protégés singing, dancing and rhythmically banging on cans, plastic bottles or anything else that can be fashioned into a drum -- and a cultural revolution.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 70 Ernest Hardy
    A small revolution tucked inside clichés and willful artistic ineptitude.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 70 Ernest Hardy
    A very cynical exploitation of the current Hollywood vogue for things queer. Still, the film is a must-see.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 70 Ernest Hardy
    Characters make choices that are incredibly stupid, even wildly offensive, but also recognizably human, and as the night spirals out of control Cannon demonstrates a strong hand in controlling the mayhem. He also sets himself up as a filmmaker to watch.
    • 70 Metascore
    • 70 Ernest Hardy
    The supporting cast is uniformly fine, but the film rests on the delicate shoulders of Bonnaire, who carries it with a soulful, magnetic presence.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 70 Ernest Hardy
    It's fair to assume that most viewers likely to see the film, whose title is the very definition of truth in advertising, already own the knowledge being sold.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 70 Ernest Hardy
    Although the hinges connecting the film's elements -- slapstick, political satire, thriller, gross-out shots -- sometimes squeak loudly, they hold the movie together nicely.
