Critic Reviews for The Pompatus of Love

All Critics (6) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (5)

Yet another verbose film about a quartet of white males going through rough transition to adulthood. Steve Miller's song, The Joker, about the pompatus of love serves as the title for an uninspired tale.
