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

Reviews for Games People Play: New York
Top CriticProves 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.

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

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.

Top Critic99 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.
04/09/04
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.

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

Top CriticA 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.
04/23/04
Interminable exploitation-fest that doesn't even come close to the worst of this stuff on TV.
03/11/04
... a unique piece of work.

Top CriticWhat 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.
03/03/04
A clever, amusing, roundly enjoyable social experiment wrapped in colorful docu-tainment swaddling clothes.

It's easy to hook into the 'Banzai!' how-low-can- we-get-people- to-stoop spirit.
03/25/04
Top CriticAs an avid hater of reality television, the intelligence behind James Ronald Whitney's Games People Play was quite a surprise.
03/07/04
A curious thing: a reality game show that plays us.
03/12/04
It's not all cheap laughs, however. There's cheap sentiment, as well.

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.
