Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The bulk of Rules comes off like a cool-hand poser's at the wheel.
– Bob Longino,
Atlanta Journal-Constitution,

rotten:
The nonstop artifice ultimately proves tiresome, with the surface histrionics failing to compensate for the paper-thin characterizations and facile situations.
– Robert Denerstein,

fresh:
Ellis' satire, filtered through Avary's harsh lens, is hard to stomach, harder to ignore.
– Peter Travers,

rotten:
The leads and their accomplices look dead glam, but it's never clear whether their vacuity is a deliberate strategy. Certainly Avary's style seems all for instant gratification.

Actually I quite enjoyed the movie--but how do I get rid of this awful discharge?
