Critic Reviews

David Stratton

Cheekily diverting, decidedly feel-good, tremendously sexy entertainment. Read full review

Chuck Wilson

This is a small, funny movie drawn from the radical notion that a love born of late-night lust can survive the glaring light of day. Read full review

Carrie Rickey

Unpretentious fun. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

The film's greatest assets are leads Susie Porter and David Wenham, whose considerable personal appeal make its trite observations about the war of the sexes seem charming, at least for a while. Read full review

Ed Park

Despite the wall-to-wall shagging in Cin's loft, -- this Three Days of the Condom is less Last Tango in Sydney than "When Harry Met Sally." Read full review

Jack Mathews

Wenham and Porter are appealing actors, and Teplitzky's depiction of their coupling has an unflinching realism. Read full review

Dana Stevens

Imagine "Last Tango in Paris" remade as a wan, low-budget romantic comedy. Read full review
