An insightful exploration reveals why people seek romance although it can cause so much trouble.

John Anderson

Variety

Very little that anyone here says, or does, has the slightest connection to any known reality, and if a film is going to perform an autopsy on love, the corpse should at least be recognizable.

Jeannette Catsoulis

New York Times

An airless, fragmented feature that's been kicking around since 2007.

Rated: 1.5/5

Elizabeth Weitzman

New York Daily News

Ever fast-forward through a late-night cable romance just to get to the good parts? This amateurish relationship dramedy features all the stuff you'd skip, and nothing else.

Rated: 1/5

Avi Offer

NYC Movie Guru

Often drags with poorly developed characters, awkward pacing and stilted dialogue that has no new or refreshing insights about love, romance or modern relationships.

Rated: 2.75/10

Adds nothing new or fresh to our understanding of sexual politics.

Film Journal International

Omnibus Hell, decidedly not romantic, and reaching an absolute nadir with a scatological sequence to (hopefully) end them all.

3 of the 4 stories were good, but the whole cast did a very good job. I just couldn't get into the story of the married couple having a screwed up three-some to spice things up. The story was even more ridiculous and pointless because the wife only did it to destroy her husband.
