Reception

[edit]

TV guide was very critical of the film: "Director Karl Slovin is to blame for staging this comedy with detrimental long pauses in between dialogue, and for generally mishandling his actors, but he can't take the rap for the pretentious bedroom farce bouncing on the bedsprings before us. Wuhrer is a sweet but recessive actress, so her contribution is negligible; the irrepressible Tucci tries to whip up the desired Edward Albee edge, but can't overcome the risible conception."[9] as was Entertainment Weekly, "Bad acting, bad dialogue, and a ludicrous plot sink this awful direct-to-video black comedy"[10] A similar assessment can be found in Leonard Maltin' Movie Guide,[11] that mentions however that the cast was "good".[12] Another brief review praises only Tucci's performance.[13]
