October 2, 2009I hate movie titles that begin with gerunds. CHASING AMY, FINDING FORRESTER, FEELING MINNESOTA, etc. ad infinitum--a by-product of the depressingly lame 1990s.

September 19, 2009The cast isn't bad and this has some good moments, but basically this is a mediocre sitcom episode stretched to an hour and a half. Broderick, Snow, and Tierney aren't bad but they can't save the script.

This cloying comedy is barely enlivened by its talented stars who both deserve much better. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
A peculiar film, which is really two films fighting to occupy the same space. full review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
It can be done -- there are rich, sordid black comedies out there -- but Tolan doesn't quite pull it off. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
The film's tone shifts jarringly from superficial broad comedy to something far darker. And the hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold scenario is as old as the profession itself. full review

A clumsy mash of Leaving Las Vegas and Hardcore. full review
