Proves that you don't need much money to make an absolutely fascinating reality movie, provided you are willing to exploit weirdos waiting for their moment in the limelight.

It's not all cheap laughs, however. There's cheap sentiment, as well.

The only way anyone in the audience will win is if they walk out on the film, seek out management, and ask for their money back.

Degrades both those who chose to appear in it and those of us unfortunate enough to watch it.

The whole experience feels cheap and sleazy, like walking alone down a long damp alley at 3 in the morning.

Entertaining in a naked real world, train-wreck kind of way... the pranks are often funny, never actually cruel, but at the same time, there's something sad about these games.

This is the kind of faux-dignified freak show that was once the stuff of parody and satire. Now it pats itself on the back for being 'risqué' and treats itself seriously.

Pornography has more integrity than James Ronald Whitney's total tease of a movie.

A clever, amusing, roundly enjoyable social experiment wrapped in colorful docu-tainment swaddling clothes.

A look at the fame machine, done with tongue in cheek, eyes open in wonderment and a brazen sense of playfulness that's hard to resist.

Just interesting enough to relieve the embarrassment you deserve for enjoying it.

If reality is made up of truth without deceit, there’s nothing real about Games, unless you count really bad and really awful.

A pretty scathing satire of reality TV, including itself, which makes it both what it is, and a critique of what it is.

It is either a brilliant example of an experiment in psychological manipulation or a reprehensible exploitation of the ambitions and vulnerabilities of actors and others who did the director no harm.

99 minutes of excruciating 'reality.'

This sly endeavor is not nearly as brave or uninhibited as it claims; it is a movie that scrambles around with its ideas and never really decides where it wants to take them.
