Smooth-talking Philippe knows all the right words to talk a woman straight into the bedroom, and he's ready to share his secrets of seduction with the world. Though his students may seem hopeless, Philippe is confident he can shape them into seasoned ladykillers. But is Philippe truly the master womanizer he presents himself to be? As Philippe relays his wisdom to his rapt male students while discovering that all women aren't created equal, real-life N.Y.C. street interviews reveal just how frustrating and complex modern romance can truly be. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Inept, immature and terminally irritating, Mo is the kind of persistent clown who only responds to a slap in the kisser; would that the film were as easy to banish.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Essentially another tone-deaf update of Love, American Style.
Vadim Rizov, Village Voice
How to Seduce Difficult Women is woefully incompetent and ugly, throwing out multiple threads without resolution, randomly interspersed with man-in-Union-Square documentary commentary of the Mars/Venus kind.
Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru
A vapid, sophomoric and toothless comedy that's low on insight and filled with distasteful, unfunny humor and contrived situations that often fall flat.
Kam Williams, Sly Fox
A sloppily-edited, series of unfunny, disconnected sketches adding up to far less than the sum of its parts.
Aaron Hillis, Time Out New York
This shapeless series of unfunny vignettes (interspersed with pointless street interviews) deserves to be slapped hard.
Joseph Jon Lanthier, Slant Magazine
A brief walk through a local Barnes and Noble (or any internet community devoted to relationship advice) effortlessly castrates the movie's ambiguous satirical aspirations.
