Critics' reviews
- "The film begins to resemble the dramatic equivalent of a porno movie"
- "Williams isn't really playing Adams: He's once again playing himself, and the act is getting tired"
- "The kind of film that will work for an audience that's just interested in having an emotional experience without caring how obviously or clumsily they are manipulated."
