Interminable exploitation-fest that doesn't even come close to the worst of this stuff on TV.

Reviews for Games People Play: New York
If reality is made up of truth without deceit, there’s nothing real about Games, unless you count really bad and really awful.
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.
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.
doomed to late-night rotation on some high-digit, bargain-basement cable channel
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.
A big-screen reality show that flashes plenty of [nudity] but little integrity.
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.
Although it ultimately winds up as grotesque as the reality TV shows it lampoons, Whitney's film offers up a sly and occasionally uproarious look at uninhibited New Yorkers.
It's not all cheap laughs, however. There's cheap sentiment, as well.
What goes for comedy, spoof or drama in "Games," only struck me as tacky and boring.
The questions raised by this film can be unsettling at the very least, but it presents itself with no apologies, and that is why it is so successful.
If this type of entertainment is your cup of tea, you will likely be amused here.
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.
What we’ve really seen calls into question not just the previous hour but everything reality fans have become accustomed to and sold repeatedly week-after-week.
