Reviews for Games People Play: New York
The whole experience feels cheap and sleazy, like walking alone down a long damp alley at 3 in the morning.
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 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.
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.
It's easy to hook into the 'Banzai!' how-low-can- we-get-people- to-stoop spirit.
As titillating and energetic as the film is, it is also rather sad because it reveals what aspiring actors will endure for what they apparently regard as an opportunity.
Part documentary, part parody, and part something indefinable, the film manages to succeed on its own terms and entertain on just about anyone's.
Whitney has managed to offer the only thing the world needs less than another reality TV show: one that runs over an hour and a half, teems with pretense, and can't be terminated with the click of a remote.
