Globe and Mail Rated: 3/4 Apr 12, 2002 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times My suggestion to the filmmakers: If in doubt about what to do in a story, trust your characters, trust their dialogue and get out of the way. Rated: 2/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Yet another verbose film about a quartet of white males going through rough transition to adulthood. Steve Miller's song, The Joker, about the pompatus of love serves as the title for an uninspired tale. Rated: C Oct 8, 2006 Full Review Andy Klein Los Angeles CityBeat Rated: 2/5 Mar 30, 2005 Full Review Rebecca Murray About.com Rated: 1/5 Jun 13, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member [img]http://www.pajamashoppe.com/DVDs/images/movies/co131_pompatus_big.jpg[/img] This movie COULD have been good. It starts out annoying, becomes entertaining, then interesting, then ... dull... finallly, somewhat smart, and then fulllllly disappointing. It's like Sex and the City with dudes. But it's not that good. STILL a good rental... the relationship between Jon Cryer and Kristen Wilson had the most promise, and everything else in the movie affected it. That sucks. [b]EDIT[/b]: Yes. It was better than "The Brothers McMullen". Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
