One Guy's Opinion
Offers not feast but famine...at its core Susman's film, despite its subject, is utterly conventional and as eager to please as a puppy dog.

Top Critic
The film feels as loose and unfocused as the collective's political beliefs, at times veering dangerously close to Animal House territory.
A lame contemporary comedy about a radical Dallas commune operating out of a bookstore.
| Original Score: 0/4
The Anarchist Cookbook strains for a jazzy, Oliver Stone-ish look, but at its heart it is a placid and conventional moral tale about the dangers of wandering too far off the pathway.

Entertainment Today
Think of it as Fight Club Lite; the film may not fully explain Generation-Next ennui but it does have is a winning immediacy and agreeableness -- and Gummersall, who... delivers a crisp performance.

L.A. Weekly
It's so devoid of a personal imprint that either Susman doesn't have very clearly formed opinions himself or he isn't much good at getting them across to the audience.
Because it never develops its characters beyond types, it comes off as flat and forced throughout.
Empire Magazine
There's a good film waiting to be made on this subject. This isn't it.

Boxoffice Magazine
he film aims to be thought-provoking and funny, but this reviewer only laughed twice, and was only provoked into one thought: How do you go from The Deer Hunter to this?

Film Threat
Susman has put together a well-crafted, witty commentary on corporate culture and the deals all of us make with ourselves to come to terms with modern existence.
