Everybody flirts with everyone else as director John Irvin pours on a level of shopping-mall-gift-shop-kitsch that would shame Wayne Newton.
Kyle Smith, New York Post
Rotten
Better than it might have been yet still a definite letdown, a literary B-side turned into something not awful, just forgettable.
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
Ms. Suvari's Catherine is so extravagantly monstrous that Mr. Huston's David, who provides a desultory narration, comes across as an inert nonentity.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten
The dialogue and plot in Garden Of Eden are rendered clearly and precisely, without a lot of fine shading. The result is a movie that's all surface... all silly, silly surface.
Noel Murray, AV Club
