( Showing 1-8 of 8 Tomatometer Reviews, sorted z-a )   "Whaley's determination to immerse you in sheer, unrelenting wretchedness is exhausting." -- Maitland McDonagh, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE   "Rewarding for its brash originality and daring in etching a portrait of a man who refuses to take life's disappointments lying down." -- Chris Gore, FILM THREAT   "Whaley's performance is earnest and often riveting, but he should have taken a few lessons from his peers at amateur night." -- Annlee Ellingson, BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE   "It may be a somewhat backhanded compliment to say that the film makes the viewer feel like the movie’s various victimized audience members after a while, but it also happens to be the movie’s most admirable quality" -- Jason Clark, PREMIERE MAGAZINE --  Click to read the article. -- Chuck Schwartz, CRANKY CRITIC®   "So faithful to the doldrums of the not-quite-urban, not-quite-suburban milieu as to have viewers recoiling from the reality check." -- Bill Chambers, FILM FREAK CENTRAL Cream of the Crop ROTTEN 0%   "The film, like Jimmy's routines, could use a few good laughs." -- V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST   "If the movie succeeds in instilling a wary sense of 'there but for the grace of God,' it is far too self-conscious to draw you deeply into its world." -- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES   "There's an admirable rigor to Jimmy's relentless anger, and to the script's refusal of a happy ending, but as those monologues stretch on and on, you realize there's no place for this story to go but down." -- Leslie Camhi, VILLAGE VOICE --  Click to read the article. -- ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION
