A dull, generic title for a dull, generic film.

The party scenes deliver some tawdry kicks. The rest of the film ... is dudsville.
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

Instead of trying to bust some blondes, [Diggs] should be probing why a guy with his talent ended up in a movie this bad.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star

Nobody seems to have cared much about any aspect of it, from its cheesy screenplay to the grayish quality of its lighting to its last-minute, haphazard theatrical release.
