Tries hard to be charming, but succeeds only occasionally. Full Review
An incoherent jumble of characters and situations. Full Review
Has a vacant, inept, why-oh-why feeling from its opening minutes and only gets worse. Full Review
Naive as Kollek's writing is, there's something winning about his sympathy with out-of-step characters.

Despite a script that occasionally calls for some embarrassingly awkward lines, Kollek's cast generally acquits itself well.

The filmmaker's enthusiasm for addressing diverse people's needs for both companionship and sexual gratification is admirable, but movies aren't just about notions.
Kollek is a fringe auteur who makes independent films the old fashioned way: no budget, static camera, a script that telegraphs its tiny, paste gem ironies. Full Review
