- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The film begins to resemble the dramatic equivalent of a porno movie"
-
"Williams isn't really playing Adams: He's once again playing himself, and the act is getting tired"
-
"The kind of film that will work for an audience that's just interested in having an emotional experience without caring how obviously or clumsily they are manipulated."
