Once upon a time, Charlie Cates (Alissa Miller) was a Video Gold presenter on the verge of superstardom. Fate can sometimes deal a cruel hand in life though, and as Charlie languishes in the broadcast limbo of the Home Value Shopping Network, her friend and fellow VJ hopeful Zoë Fields (Kim Director) achieves the kind of success Charlie could only dream of. Her hopes for the future quickly slipping out of focus and her jealously for Zoë's success spurned on by her boyfriend's revelation that he once slept with the successful VJ at a swinging New York "cell phone" party, Charlie determines to prove just how hip she can be by throwing the ultimate sex party. With a guest list that includes a collection of her best college friends and a house in Connecticut rented just for the occasion, Charlie is about to find out that setting the mood isn't as easy as some sexually adventurous New York hipsters might make it seem. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
... derivative and overeager to both shock and please.

Robert Koehler, Variety
A would-be comedy that suffers from a lack of energy and imagination.

Erik Childress, eFilmCritic.com
When the film just ends with barely a final act to speak of, we feel cheated on and, ironically, our only refuge is to go look for those old movies from our past.
