Long, shapeless, and painfully unfunny, Wirey Spindell confirms its maker's status as one of the most distinctively awful filmmakers of his generation.

...a teen sex comedy for the grown-up arthouse crowd.

To say that this movie is true to life is only to say that it's banal, boring and confusing.

Where writer-director Eric Schaeffer shoots himself in the foot is by succumbing to the narcissistic voice within.

In all honesty, the way the film was paced and the sheer unpredictability of some of its moments kept me tuned in the entire 101 minutes. There is some wittiness in the film's dialogue. Where the film fails is, as mentioned in the NY Times, the film reflects the flaws and self-absorbedness of Wirey, not reflects upon it. As a result, the film comes off as way too rambling and pretentious to be considered substantive.

My memory is foggy when it comes to this movie but I remember it being extremely risque. Fortunately risque is right up my alley.

One of those hidden Gem flicks that not many have seen. Some really nice dramatic moments with witty dialog.
