Top Rotten Tomatoes Critics

The resulting film has the integrity and the ugliness of the truth. It's not true because it's ugly; no, it's ugly because it's true. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

There's no colorful Boschian absurdism here, only soulless banter and projectile vomit. full review

Sara Stewart, New York Post

One of those exercises in masculine self-pity and glib misogyny that frustrates because of its shortsightedness. full review

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

Yes, it feels true. But why bother? full review

Stephen Holden, New York Times

This slovenly, self-indulgent riff on Charles Bukowski-like fringe-livers has all of the naked harshness of Bukowski with none of the poetry. full review

Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News

An appreciation that the pain is personal doesn't compensate for the picture's self-absorbed need to alienate. full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

The exuberant editing and puke-into-the-camera edginess indicate a film more interested in boasting of hell-raising than in exorcising it. full review

Nick Pinkerton, Village Voice

These two non-lovers have real chemistry, and it's hard not to be intoxicated by the strange cocktail of watching them together, even as the story appears to be going nowhere. full review
