Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

May be too heady for some tastes but can stir you deeply, if you're open to it. Read full review

Nicole Campos

The strangeness is sometimes amusing, often showy, and laid on so thick that it's difficult to make the connection. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

This sour coming of age story is a testament to his self-centeredness and dogged perseverance. Read full review

Jessica Winter

Brimming with fatuous "clever" dialogue and gorgeous women swooning over Schaeffer-played boors, the like-sounding titles denoted a vain, smarmy Woody Allen acolyte drowning in his own reflection. Read full review

A. O. Scott

To say that this movie is true to life is only to say that it's banal, boring and confusing. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

The latest vanity production by writer-director-star Eric Schaeffer, who still seems to think he's another Woody Allen -- despite a growing body of work that proves otherwise. Read full review
