Judging by the actors involved in Barry Blaustein's amusing but unpolished comedy, it's fair to assume he has a friends in high places. That's good, since they refine Peter Himmelstein's rough script.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The heavy-handed "Peep World" has a few laughs sprinkled over its abbreviated running time as it limps to a predictable conclusion.
By turns flat and strained, "Peep World" is a collection of personality disorders in search of a story.
A a family circus of dysfunction that's so familiar you may feel tempted to place bets on how everything will shake out, and painless enough that you might not resent doing so.
Peep World subjects us to a series of comic situations that might kindly be called contrived.
