Critic Reviews

J.R. Jones

Its labored goofiness seldom transcends the stale format. Read full review

Michael Wilmington

There's nothing classic about Surviving Eden, even if it is better than reality TV. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Angel Cohn

Only Lynch's over-the-top network executive stands out in this otherwise bland film that tries for satire but neglects to be funny. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

The movie is hindered by its weak script, but there's also a bigger problem to overcome: If we want to laugh at superficial celebrities, we already have plenty to choose from in real life. Read full review

Todd McCarthy

A flighty and unnecessary send-up of reality television. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

An impressive supporting cast can't save this painfully unfunny, ham-fisted mockumentary poking fun at reality TV shows. Read full review

Joshua Land

This witless satire dares to take on the culture of--get ready for this--reality TV! Arriving a stupefying five years out of date, Surviving Eden is a not particularly rigorous attempt at mockumentary. Read full review

I'm a huge Cheri Oteri fan, and I went to see this in NY and she was hilarious! The whole movie is really funny, and then it gets kinda sad near the end. I loved it.
