The sort of clumsy undertaking that trips up everyone and everything in it.

Mark Jenkins, Washington Post
Rotten

What's missing is any sense of why such a handsome man is afraid of women. That makes the premise hard to swallow, especially since Harrington is too commanding to be a believable dweeb.

Chuck Wilson, L.A. Weekly
Rotten

The movie reaches with increasing desperation toward humor and grisly sadism, and the mood is broken.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh

While some pedestrian camerawork and spotty acting from supporting players deflate Love Object, it has enough juice -- and a surprising twist -- to keep fans of the slow-burn horror genre enthralled.

Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune
Rotten

What might have been a commentary on the objectification of women becomes an unrestrained forum for twisted ideas of sexuality.

Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle
