Critic Reviews

  • Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

    It's not exactly stupid. Cynical might be a better word.

  • Derek Adams, Time Out

    So what's all the fuss about? If people want to staple paper to their inner thighs, let them. The question is whether you're prepared to pay to watch them do it.
