In London's contemporary art world, everyone has a hustle. Art Spindle runs a high-end gallery: he hopes to flip a Mondrian for millions. One of his assistants, Beth, is sleeping with Art's most acquisitive client, Bob Macclestone. Beth wants Bob to set her up in her own gallery, so she helps him go behind Art's back for the Mondrian. Bob's wife, Jean, sets her eye on a young conceptual artist, Jo, who lusts after Art's newest assistant, Paige. Meanwhile, self-absorbed videographer Elaine is chewing her way through friends and lovers looking to make it: if she'll throw Dewey, her agent, under the bus, Beth may give her a show. And the Mondrian? No honor among thieves.

Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
[The film's characters] are so repellent that almost everyone outside the movie's fetid hothouse will want to flee to fresher air.

fresh:
Goes over the top now and then, but overall it's a lot of nasty fun.

fresh:
The cast of superficial backstabbers, casual philanderers, and gibberish-spouting phonies has no original characters, but at least a few of the actors attack their roles with a zest that offsets their two-dimensionality.

rotten:
A tepid spoof that only occasionally evokes a reluctant smile.

rotten:
A travesty no matter how you look at it, this flaccid art-world farce is best approached as a landmark of dubious ensemble work.
