Veronica is a white-bread beauty searching for a good man in Los Angeles. While slam dancing at a Halloween rave, she meets Abel, a sensitive poet. Then she meets Zed, a supersexy tattooed drummer with incredible biceps. Who will she choose? Does she go for true love or cheap sex? She can't decide so she chooses both. But after managing to nurture a picture-perfect threesome, along comes Ernest, a rich movie director with deep baby blues that sweep Veronica off her feet. What's a girl to do now?

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

Village Voice by Dennis Lim

Might as well be bad TV...Splendor is what happens when a director whose natural mode is subversion runs out of things to subvert.

Film.com by Ernest Hardy

Beautifully shot, full of lush, vibrant colors and expertly wrought sets...a club-kid's frothy date flick.

Film.com by John Hartl

Compared to such current television shows as ''Sex and the City" and ''Action," this menage-a-trois tale seems downright tame.

25

New York Post by Jonathan Foreman

An embarrassing misfire...feels like a long, slow TV pilot about L.A. twentysomethings, only it lacks the polish and wit of your average sitcom.

60

Chicago Reader by Lisa Alspector

Instructive comedy, which is marvelously neutral toward a type of sexual and domestic relationship that's often exploited or overblown.

78

Austin Chronicle by Marc Savlov

There's a genuine, sparky chemistry between the three (and later, a fourth), and Robertson, particularly, is luminous in her role.
