"The high-concept scenario soon proves preposterous, the acting is robotically italicized, and truth-in-advertising hounds take note: There's very little hustling on view."
-- Jessica Winter, VILLAGE VOICE

"Kicks off with an inauspicious premise, mopes through a dreary tract of virtually plotless meanderings and then ends with a whimper."
-- Megan Turner, NEW YORK POST

"Though it pretends to expose the life of male hustlers, it's exploitive without being insightful."
-- Tom Sime, DALLAS MORNING NEWS

"Faultlessly professional but finally slight."
