A comedy without laughs, an expose without point.
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
Rotten
What turns the witlessness rancid is the way the movie is saturated in the very corruption it thinks it's ridiculing.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Rotten
A caustic but under-funny "expose" of the venality of the motion picture business.
Todd McCarthy, Variety
Rotten
If you harbor an interest in watching so-called "industry smarts" autodestruct, this carries a certain morbid appeal, but that's about the extent of it.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
