Professional reviews
Review: The ensemble cast is uniformly excellent, and there are some real laughs to be had (Empire, 18/07/2008)
Laugh out loud humor... hugely enjoyable (Film Review, 18/07/2008)
Bracingly original in deceptively offhand, cosmic-joke fashion, Jaymes and company have created a smart portrait of the contemporary walking wounded (Hollywood Reporter, 18/07/2008)
So funny and so ridiculous you'll be weeping tears of joyous blood (Maxim, 18/07/2008)
An acidic sense of humor and a superbly cast ensemble led by Jaymes and a knockout Jeremy Sisto (Variety, 18/07/2008)
