Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
It's rich, stimulating thought in spite of itself.

fresh:
Director Frank Perry, who collaborated with three others (including producer Frank Yablans) on the script, gives it all a certain crazed conviction.

rotten:

I can't imagine who would want to subject themselves to this movie.

rotten:
