Nathan Rabin AV Club 07/10/2006
Long, shapeless, and painfully unfunny, Wirey Spindell confirms its maker's status as one of the most distinctively awful filmmakers of his generation. Go to Full Review Daniel M. Kimmel Variety 04/27/2005
...a teen sex comedy for the grown-up arthouse crowd. Go to Full Review A.O. Scott New York Times 05/21/2003
To say that this movie is true to life is only to say that it's banal, boring and confusing. Go to Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com 01/12/2007

05/16/2009 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. See more 09/17/2008 I'm a big fan of the dialogue of this film. See more 03/01/2008 My memory is foggy when it comes to this movie but I remember it being extremely risque. Fortunately risque is right up my alley. See more 02/02/2008 Absolutely brilliant writing. See more 11/21/2007 Lengthy, but worth it. See more 11/15/2007 One of those hidden Gem flicks that not many have seen. Some really nice dramatic moments with witty dialog. See more Read all reviews
