Critic Reviews

, Time Out
There's no real feel for period (the mid-'60s), and that dull Sheen psychodrama doesn't go away.
-
Janet Maslin, New York Times
There is no indication that Mr. Sheen ever yelled "Cut!" when he had a chance to send one of his actors over the top.
-
Rita Kempley, Washington Post
A sluggish comedy of race relations from the sappy Sheens, it's instant fodder for In Living Color's satirical Wayans.
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Emotions in this film operate on a made-for-TV level; they don't engage you.
-
David Cornelius, DVDTalk.com
The cast builds genuine characters out of stock situations.
