Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Claustrophobic and overwrought, Jailbait is an unpleasant excursion into gay panic mitigated somewhat by performances that are hard to shake.
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten
While the stars deliver highly committed performances, the static nature of the proceedings ultimately defeats them.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
A stagy, only mildly compelling prison drama that ends up feeling like purgatory to all involved.
Laura Kern, New York Times
Rotten
I wouldn't have thought it was possible to make a prison picture as utterly boring as Jailbait.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
