This honorable follow-up to LaBute's stunning debut, In the Company of Men, which also dissects sexual politics, is well acted by the entire ensemble.

Emanuel Levy, Variety

It is superbly executed and, for all its pitilessness, it's an intelligent dramatization of the impact that consumerist values have had on the psyche of the North American middle class at the end of the 20th century.

John Haslett Cuff, Globe and Mail

With LaBute, you get a filmmaker who cuts to the timeless heart of sexual warfare.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

It's refreshing to see a movie like this -- something that's edgy and entertaining, and doesn't try to appeal to 'the masses.'

James Berardinelli, ReelViews

Hilarious!
