Jennifer Esposito spices up the cast as the all-knowing butch across the street. But a note to all hetero guys already pulling out their eight bucks: There are no scenes to write Penthouse about.

Reviews for Just One Time

Just One Time, with its breezy jokiness, is more sitcom than smut, but at 90 minutes without a laugh track or commercial break, it hardly holds its own against an average episode of Dharma and Greg or Friends.

Top CriticJust One Time is a bedroom farce with little sex or humor, a weak premise and spotty acting. But it's mildly enjoyable anyway, thanks to a sneaky charm.
01/01/00
Top CriticIt's not a bad way to spend 90 minutes, but not fantastic cinema either.
02/01/01
The dirty talk reveals motives that are unfashionably--dishonestly--square.
03/23/01
The script is unremarkable, as is [Janger's] direction and acting, but winning performances save it from total negligibility.

Top CriticIn his feature debut, Langer continues to develop the trend begun by him as producer of I Think I Do (a better film), i.e. to construct a romantic comedy that blends gay and straight characters that co-exist in the same community; the result is uneven.

Top CriticA very enjoyable film that should entertain a wide demographic of movie fans.

Top CriticThis isn't a groundbreaking film, or even a particularly memorable one.

A story like Just One Time is inevitable -- and welcome -- in an age of advanced sexual freedom and experimentation. But someone with more respect for women should take another whack at it.
01/01/00
This is not great, or risk-taking, filmmaking, but it does have a certain undeniable charm.
01/01/01
Instead of making people a little bit uncomfortable and poking holes in various sexual taboos, Janger's film floats past the eyes without leaving anything behind.
01/01/00
Had Just One Time been closer to 60 minutes in length, filmed in front of a barking studio audience and presided over by a guy named Springer, I might have been moderately amused.
06/04/01
Just One Time began life as a sharply written short film, but as a feature it's unmemorable.
06/05/02
Just One Time is definitely onto something, but unfortunately, like Amy and Michelle, or Anthony and Victor, it never goes far enough.
