Critics Consensus

A clumsy and scattered comedy with a poorly executed script.

The female creative team of [Director Risa Bramon] Garcia and writer Shanna Larson drove a set of storylines that centered women's frank sexuality in a way that still isn't as mainstream as it should be.

There's no sign of the writerly derring-do that is really essential to daisy-chain storytelling.

We frequently look past a subpar movie's terrible script or acting as long as it contains good special effects or cinematography, but we rarely extend the same courtesy to good costuming. How boring.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

My partner and I watch this film every New Years Eve! It's a fun movie to get you in the mood for the New Year! A great cast of many amazing people like Martha Plimpton, Dave Chappelle, and Courtney Love! Check it out this December 31st!

I grew up in New York and I remember when going to the East Village was the height of sophistication. This movie brings back the pointless aimlessness of nights trying to have a good time and meet someone to love (forever or temporarily). I had nights like this, so I love it. And the soundtrack is like listening to the radio back then. Eclectic and excellent. It’s not perfect, but I had some laughs and enjoyed seeing baby versions of current celebrities. Courtney Love was adorable.

My husband and I love this movie and watch it every NYE. For me, the movie is totally nostalgic, reminiscent of my youth in the 80's. Roaming the East Village for parties. Finding dive bars. Cruising for guys. And I totally remember the Indian restaurant on E6th St. The film is a lot of fun, with a great cast and soundtrack.
