1/5
A feeble and tedious satire on the New York art scene. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 06/03/2002
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. Go to Full Review Lawrence Van Gelder New York Times 05/29/2002

09/24/2006 [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] See more 09/22/2006 I didn't like this film.
