      Audience Member [font=Comic Sans MS][size=4]A small low budget film about a starving artist. Who just can't seem to find a buyer for his art work. His girl friend dumps him, he looses his dead end job. He gets his wallet stolen and when he comes home from work. He finds out he has been robbed (same guy that stole his wallet) of one of his paintings. The thief takes his painting to pay for his rent. Makes up this story about the artist. What happens next........Well you'll just have to see the movie to find out.[/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=4]You'll guess before the end of the movie is over. And the acting was sub-par. But I still liked it, even thou I knew pretty much how it would end.[/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=4]A nice rental.[/size][/font] [font=Comic Sans MS][size=4]Donna A.[/size][/font] Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I didn't like this film.

      Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times A feeble and tedious satire on the New York art scene. Rated: 1/5 Jun 14, 2002 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter Squandering a potentially juicy subject for ridicule, the film simply doesn't have the wit necessary to do it justice, relying instead on obvious jokes and stereotypical characterizations. Jun 3, 2002 Full Review Lawrence Van Gelder New York Times A deftly satisfying, comically coherent sendup of the world of art. Rated: 4/5 May 29, 2002 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 12, 2005 Full Review Film Threat Rated: 2.5/5 Dec 8, 2002 Full Review Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette Rated: 3/5 Nov 25, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews
