Attains the occasional moment of clarity, but ultimately has neither the dramatic heft nor the anchoring talent to justify an hour and a half in the company of a boring sociopath.

There are a lot of truthful notes in "Some Girl(s)," but there are also false ones that let you know that you are being played with. You'd best beware.

Stephen Holden, New York Times
Rotten

Mayer does little to open up LaBute's original play, and the staginess often feels oppressive. The performances are mixed, too.

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

The deft and merciless director sides with the girls, and to stack the deck she's hired five tremendous actresses who thrill to tear poor Brody apart

Amy Nicholson, Los Angeles Times
Rotten

The title's parenthetical plural sums up the problem with Some Girl(s): Five slow-cook dialogues that reveal the nice-guy protagonist as a super-tool is four too many.

Mike D'Angelo, AV Club
