Reviews for Surviving Eden
1 - 14 (sorted by rotten rating)
Top CriticOnly Lynch's over-the-top network executive stands out in this otherwise bland film that tries for satire but neglects to be funny.
08/25/06
Writer-director Greg Pritkin ('Dummy') offers up a parody that's less enjoyable than the stuff he's mocking.
08/24/06
If not a gift to audiences, it is an unintentional trove of how-not-to tips for aspiring filmmakers.
03/01/07
Writer/director Greg Pritikin has created a reality-TV satire as clueless as the self-impressed 'stars' it scorns.
08/25/06
No script, no stars, no nothing. What could go wrong?..Just because nothing did doesn't mean that the film is good.
08/25/06
The movie insists that we care deeply about its sad sack protagonist as some sort of Chaplin-esque victim of vanity and greed. But neither Pritkin's conception nor Panes' performance warrants such sympathy.
08/24/06
Top CriticThis witless satire dares to take on the culture of -- get ready for this -- reality TV!
08/22/06
Surviving Eden is the sort of hapless vanity project where even the outtakes at the end aren't funny.
08/25/06
Top CriticReality TV, says one character in Greg Pritikin's Surviving Eden, makes you stupid and ill. The movie tries hard to prove it.
08/31/06
Top CriticThat it has nothing novel to say about the subject matter it's skewering is the film's largest failing.
08/22/06
Although early scenes hold out some promise that this parody of Survivor could amount to something, the movie quickly runs out of ideas.
08/25/06
Top CriticThe tribal council has spoken: this is a funny movie.
09/12/06
This comedy could use some polishing. With a little more style it could have been better, but there is a decent film inside this one somewhere.
