"a nightmare date with a half-formed wit done a great disservice by a lack of critical distance and a sad trust in liberal arts college bumper sticker platitudes." -- Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL   "To portray modern women the way director Davis has done is just unthinkable." -- Thom Fowler, HOLLYWOOD BITCHSLAP   "Imagine Susan Sontag falling in love with Howard Stern." -- Ed Gonzalez, SLANT MAGAZINE   "Despite its title, Amy’s Orgasm is not a porno, though it is as tedious as one." -- MaryAnn Johanson, FLICK FILOSOPHER   "Entertaining despite its one-joke premise with the thesis that women from Venus and men from Mars can indeed get together." -- Harvey S. Karten, COMPUSERVE   "It's supposed to be post-feminist breezy but ends up as tedious as the chatter of parrots raised on Oprah." -- Paul Malcolm, L.A. WEEKLY   "Davis ... is so enamored of her own creation that she can't see how insufferable the character is." -- Jean Oppenheimer, NEW TIMES   "narrative may be looser than baby teeth, but Amy's Orgasm is such a verbosely in-depth exploration of female sensuality and identity." -- Shaun Sages, MOVIE NAVIGATOR

Hot Pick   "Frankly, it's kind of insulting, both to men and women. And it's not that funny -- which is just generally insulting." -- Tim Cogshell, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE

Cream of the Crop ROTTEN 50% Avg. Rating: 5.2/10   "Davis has energy, but she doesn't bother to make her heroine's book sound convincing, the gender-war ideas original, or the comic scenes fly." -- Michael Atkinson, VILLAGE VOICE   "Davis ... gets vivid performances from her cast and pulls off some deft Ally McBeal-style fantasy sequences." -- Jonathan Foreman, NEW YORK POST   "[Davis] has a bright, chipper style that keeps things moving, while never quite managing to connect her wish-fulfilling characters to the human race." -- Dave Kehr, NEW YORK TIMES   "Davis' candid, archly funny and deeply authentic take on intimate relationships comes to fruition in her sophomore effort." -- Lael Loewenstein, VARIETY   "The whole mess boils down to a transparently hypocritical work that feels as though it's trying to set the women's liberation movement back 20 years." -- Erin Meister, BOSTON GLOBE   "When compared to the usual, more somber festival entries, Davis' highly personal brand of romantic comedy is a tart, smart breath of fresh air that stands out from the pack even if the picture itself is somewhat problematic." -- Michael Rechtshaffen, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER   "About Amy's cuteness, Amy's career success (she's a best-selling writer of self-help books who can't help herself), and Amy's neuroses when it comes to men." -- Lisa Schwarzbaum, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY   "Like Kissing Jessica Stein, Amy's Orgasm has a key strength in its willingness to explore its principal characters with honesty, insight and humor." -- Kevin Thomas, LOS ANGELES TIMES
