Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Eventually ... the movie finds its own voice and groove, and avoids being a mere retro exercise. May 20, 2016 Full Review Mae Abdulbaki Punch Drunk Critics Hard Sell isn't very attentive to its own subject matter and treats its female character as expendable Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Nathanael Hood The Young Folks ... it's one of the most gently subversive films on the topic I've seen in some time, but Hard Sell treats these ideas as window-dressing for Hardy's coming-of-age story. Rated: 5/10 May 29, 2016 Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue ... strains to be edgy while failing to reconcile its broad comedy with the earnest drama. May 20, 2016 Full Review Christian Toto HollywoodInToto.com Think Hard Sell is another naughty coming of age yarn? Get ready for a pleasant surprise. Rated: 3/4 May 20, 2016 Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat A weird mashup of cliches that don't go together and appear to have been assembled by someone with no understanding of actual human behavior or motivation. Rated: 1/4 May 20, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

X O Hmmm ..... I don't think the film is as bad as people think. Katrina is really beautiful. She has no qualms being bought as a 'prostitute', but is really being a therapist. It's a really interesting film. Underrated. ,aune some holes in how points made are delivered, but the focus is the girl. The girls. And they are worth the time. A really nice film, with a savvy nerd. It's worth the time. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/13/23 Full Review Audience Member this is basically a re-working of the '80's classic 'risky business' but the girl's 'job' is now stripper instead of call girl Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Actually this was decent. Character interactions and somewhat off-beat script keeps it entertaining and fresh. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
