If not a gift to audiences, it is an unintentional trove of how-not-to tips for aspiring filmmakers. Full Review |

The tribal council has spoken: this is a funny movie. Full Review |

|
2/4 |
Reality TV, says one character in Greg Pritikin's Surviving Eden, makes you stupid and ill. The movie tries hard to prove it. Full Review |

6/10 |
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. Full Review |

1.5/5 |
Although early scenes hold out some promise that this parody of Survivor could amount to something, the movie quickly runs out of ideas. Full Review |

|
2/4 |
Only Lynch's over-the-top network executive stands out in this otherwise bland film that tries for satire but neglects to be funny. Full Review |

1.5/4 |

1.5/5 |
No script, no stars, no nothing. What could go wrong?..Just because nothing did doesn't mean that the film is good. Full Review |

Writer-director Greg Pritkin ('Dummy') offers up a parody that's less enjoyable than the stuff he's mocking. Full Review |

|
1.5/4 |
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. Full Review |

This witless satire dares to take on the culture of -- get ready for this -- reality TV! Full Review |

1.5/4 |
That it has nothing novel to say about the subject matter it's skewering is the film's largest failing. Full Review |
