Playing like a junior version of an early David Mamet talkfest, this arch look at the ups and downs of struggling screenwriters has more than its share of well-landed zingers.

Sure, The Bluetooth Virgin may not find love right around the corner, but it's a film I'll have no problem recommending 20 years from now. That's got to count for something.
10/30/09
Top CriticThe film is low budget and uneven in spots, but the dialogue is biting, Russell Brown's direction is often razor-sharp and the action climaxes with a virtuoso cameo appearance by the great Karen Black as a wily and wise script consultant.
10/30/09
Fitfully, intriguingly captures the ever-present tension between between art and commerce, and again sets on a tee the age-old question: is it an audience that makes a work a legitimate piece of art?
10/06/09
So pretentious it stinks from the screen, "The Blue Tooth Virgin" is a stillborn experiment in screenwriting 101.
09/28/09
Russell Brown's script can be accused of being all talk and no action, but it is intelligent, insightful and often quite funny.
09/26/09
A primer on keeping the pedal to the proverbial medal when your whole world seems to have lost faith in you.
09/25/09
Brown's film consists of a series of long, talky, humorless takes, during which the old argument about art versus commerce comes to the fore.
09/25/09
Top CriticSimultaneously insightful and idiotic, the minimalist pic features a succession of experts providing their two cents on Why We Write, the pitfalls of friendship and the need for outside validation.
09/25/09
Top CriticIt's not too much to hazard that Billy Wilder would have enjoyed The Blue Tooth Virgin.
09/25/09
Top CriticThis is self-vindicating L.A. narcissism that tries even less hard than usual.
09/23/09
Top CriticNeither blue teeth nor virgins make appearances, but Russell Brown’s torpid indie does deliver plenty of ponderous chitchat about truth, deception, criticism and artists’ motivations.
