Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

Surprise after surprise follows in this increasingly dark comedy, which is loaded with sharp observations and exceptionally complex characterizations. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Veering between black comedy and intense psychological drama, David Moreton's bizarre thriller never manages to get its bearings. Read full review

David Sterritt

Starts quirky, grows steadily darker, doesn't build much excitement. Read full review

Hank Sartin

All the male pulchritude can't make up for a muddled script. Read full review

Jorge Morales

We're teased with the prospect of a deeper context. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

The main character plays the Ugly American abroad to the utmost and seems to have a head-splitting caffeine migraine throughout the entire movie. It is painful to watch this film, which is a shame, given all the attractive male (and female) actors and scenes of hot gay sex. Sonia Braga, an actress I adore, plays a terribly written and poorly acted matriarch. See at your own risk. Do not waste your money on the DVD.… Expand
