A sort of "Pretty Woman" for the underworld.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
New York Daily News by Jack Mathews
A solidly crafted, entertaining melodrama.
Village Voice by Jessica Winter
B. Monkey is crawling with smart actors saying things they don't quite mean.
An entertaining but insubstantial romantic thriller loaded with Euro-chic trappings and no small amount of sex appeal.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
As skilled, resourceful actors, (Argento and Harris) make...a more believable couple than you would have thought possible.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
Overall the film is a stylish lark with no resonance, a mean-spirited one-night stand of a movie.
Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman
You may roll your eyes a bit at the glib, transparent, indie-grunge romanticism.
Unfortunately, none of the characters -- despite the film's strong cast -- ever seems worthy of the attention.
