Rotten
While the film strives to prove its cool, it's also built on [an] insufferably antique idea.

Townsend ... makes quite an impression in the title role.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Fresh
Stembridge makes the twists as pleasantly surprising as the dawning realization that you've gone from judge to accomplice.
Mark Rahner, Seattle Times
Fresh
Stembridge keeps things bustling along at a lively enough pace to deflect any introspective focus on the matchups that are never presented as relationships, only flings.
Jay Carr, Boston Globe
Fresh
A glowing Hudson radiates high spirits, and Mr. Townsend ... makes his chameleon character seem credible.
