What are critics saying?

Variety by

Ambitious but flawed comedy.

New York Post by Jonathan Foreman

A bad film with some oddly charming moments.

TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh

A lightweight parody of the porn industry and daytime talk shows that has the look and feel of a middling direct-to-video feature.

San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle

A good movie that has been sitting in a film can for two years waiting for a miracle. The miracle came -- Suvari's sudden popularity.

Entertainment Weekly by Owen Gleiberman

This ''satire'' of triple-X raunch and ''Jerry Springer'' sleaze starts off at a pitch of preening dementia and just grows more hysterical from there.

The New York Times by Stephen Holden

As tightly plotted as a standard French farce.

San Francisco Examiner by Wesley Morris

An undernourished exercise in pop critique.
