VarietyAndrew BarkerMay 1, 2014
The film manages to be an often uncomfortable experience without fully embracing its own bad taste, starting with an inherently insane premise and somehow steering it through the most basic of romantic comedy paces. Read full review

Slant MagazineAlan JonesApr 28, 2014
Huck Botko's film asks us to laugh at, even revel in, the misadventures of womanizing men, even as it condemns them for their behavior. Read full review
