Reviews for Steam
Convoluted, contrived and bland while failing to be truly endearing, insightful or believable in terms of drama and romance.
The clichés are thicker than the Steam in Kyle Schickner's hackneyed dramedy.
So cheesy and so poorly acted that it should never have seen the light of day.
If these one-dimensional stereotypes were to hit the steam room, they’d go quite limp.
Writer-director Kyle Schickner embraces every cliche with gusto. (Behold the cruel intolerance of the patriarchy!)
[Director] Schickner's reach exceeds his grasp. In trying to tell three stories simultaneously in a two-hour running time, he allows for too many developments that seem driven more by plot than character.
