Critics Consensus: This overly wacky farce strains for sophistication but lacks polish and a coherent narrative.

A limp, smirky lark.
The movie, written and directed by Andrew Litvack, a protégé of Ismail Merchant and James Ivory, strains to be the ne plus ultra of arch, hyper-sophisticated fun, but the laughs are few.
While the cast of Merci Docteur Rey gives it a good shot, this romp stumbles a bit.
Brainless and pointless.
Tries too hard to be madcap.
This is less a coming-out tale than a showcase for late-middle- aged hysterical divas in flowing caftans to yell, scream and ride roughshod over the young homosexuals who are nominally the movie's center.
The grinding noises you hear are the gears of this labored French comedy straining to keep a ridiculously convoluted narrative moving along.
An arch, clumsy effort...not only poorly written but ineptly staged... Mercy!
Merci Docteur Rey, which occasionally works as a passable farce, stoops to the sight gag of vomit.
Merci for nothing, Docteur Rey.
It's as if Litvack tossed all these bad gags, multiple storylines and kooky characters into a blender and hit puree.
What is all too apparent on the screen is a general pointless ineptitude, particularly dire in circumstances which require both material and handling to be done with the most effervescent of skill.
