Rent a porno instead; it'll be less exploitative. God help us, two more of these things are planned.

Reviews for Games People Play: New York
It's interesting to see that even when everything that is censored out of a reality show is really shown, it's sometimes just as boring as it is on TV.
Definitely not for everyone and it may not be for anyone, but it is different -- and thanks to six attractive, likable actors, oddly riveting.
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.
A big-screen reality show that flashes plenty of [nudity] but little integrity.
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.
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.
Part of its absurd genius is that it’s never entirely clear what it is and what it isn’t, which leaves it up to each individual viewer to decide.
Where real reality shows freak out about their contestants' murky pasts, this one openly exploits its damaged-goods participants.
There's no denying the freak-show appeal and you don't see frontal nudity like this on TV, but otherwise it's all as contrived and artificial as Survivor.
Interminable exploitation-fest that doesn't even come close to the worst of this stuff on TV.
If this type of entertainment is your cup of tea, you will likely be amused here.
Part documentary, part parody, and part something indefinable, the film manages to succeed on its own terms and entertain on just about anyone's.
doomed to late-night rotation on some high-digit, bargain-basement cable channel
I was glued to the screen while I watched it, but I'm a pervert and a voyeur, and I love reality-based shows.
