We wander through Alain's life just as he does, never satisfied, and perhaps marveling at how dull bisexual promiscuity actually seems to be.

Certainly sexy, entertaining and provocative -- in several senses of the word -- but it's also tiresome as only a French film can be when everyone in it has only sex and amour on his or her mind and is deadly serious about both.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
In aiming for zingy, topical farce, it goes strangely limp, coasting on the fumes of its own self-satisfied shock value.
Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly
Rotten
Despite a plethora of 'naughty bits,' it's a yawn.
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News
Rotten
In an effort to keep the plates spinning, the movie quickly devolves from risque to risible.
Dennis Lim, Village Voice
