Amateurish drivel, which is headed for Skinemax in a hurry.

Bill Muller, Arizona Republic
Rotten

The youthful cast is lively enough to make the enterprise almost work, presenting a time capsule of cyber- communication that should be more interesting 20 years from now.

John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
Rotten

Weintrob's stylish visuals mimic Web technologies, which succeed in making his characters seem all the more removed from reality. Now if someone would find a way to equip theater seats with a 'delete' key, we could be rid of them completely.

Janice Page, Boston Globe
Rotten

There's something so familiar and commonplace about this story and its characters -- and maybe that has something to do with how much the Internet is a part of our everyday lives -- it's hard to get particularly thrilled.

Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Rotten

It does a good job of portraying the day-to-day life of these online obsessives, but we realize eventually that they are more interesting because they are online.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
