The question of why this film is being re-released is superseded by the question of who would want to watch it. Full Review |
||
|
|
The incessant betrayals and confidences become monotonous after a time, and the film sinks into the familiar swamp of suburban futility. Full Review |
||
|
|
The movie works as well as it does because the cast knows the material so intimately. Full Review |

2/5 |
Writer-director Phillip F. Messina's insider comedy about Hollywood almost-rans gives off an air of clammy desperation that feels all too authentic without being especially funny and bogs down early in repetitive shtick. Full Review |

2/4 |
Only sporadically amusing. Full Review |

|
3.5/5 |
