C-
Olnek is clearly a talented writer, and it's unfortunate for a film with such a promising premise that the one-liners and situational humor don't add up to more than the sum of their parts. Go to Full Review Melissa Anderson Artforum 01/21/2015
Merkins sends up both male-hustler movies (Midnight Cowboy and My Own Private Idaho in particular) and the upscale, conservative daughters of Gomorrah with unerring goofiness. Go to Full Review Justin Lowe The Hollywood Reporter 01/21/2015

4/5

You can tell Monahan and Haas have a natural chemistry and comic rhythm. Go to Full Review Mark Adams Screen International 01/21/2015
Monahan's stand-up background shows through as she delivers many of the witty one-liners. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
