There's no special logic at work. The performances are good, but the film has been assembled without an overriding sense of humor and style.

He needs more characters to play with than Durang's analyst's couches and restaurant trysts can provide, and simply hasn't the body count to fill in the vacant frames.
Pat Graham, Chicago Reader
Rotten
It's a movie in which every scene must have seemed like a lot of fun at the time, but, when they're edited together, there's no pattern to the movie, nothing to build toward, no reason for us to care. It's all behavior.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
