"A two-character roundelay whose modicum of enjoyment depends largely on your own personal appetite for social commentary transparently dressed up as assertively quirky entertainment."-- Brent Simon, ENTERTAINMENT TODAY "Guttenberg ... obviously meant this as a major stretch, and does his best acting work since his breakthrough in Diner."-- David Noh, FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL "Dominated by an unshaven Guttenberg mugging, ranting, screaming and hurling himself around the luxurious loft set we're meant to believe is a squalid dump that serves as a nagging reminder to Jimmy of his inadequacies."-- Maitland McDonagh, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE "Guttenberg is a capable director; his framing is crisp, his pacing brisk, his eye alert to telling detail."-- Hazel-Dawn Dumpert, L.A. WEEKLY "Guttenberg's Jimmy is such a natural extension of the actor himself, which adds a dimension the original playwright never could have imagined."-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER "The film's completely declawed of energy and comedy." "It is, inevitably, an actorly exercise -- not off-puttingly so, perhaps, but at no time do we have a sense that we've transcended the stage. Or, for that matter, 1970."-- John Anderson, NEWSDAY
