2/5  "Whaley's determination to immerse you in sheer, unrelenting wretchedness is exhausting."
-- Maitland McDonagh, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE

3/5  "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

3/5  "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

2/4  "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

2/4  "The film, like Jimmy's routines, could use a few good laughs."
-- V.A. Musetto, NEW YORK POST

2/5  "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
