Critics' reviews

"The film insistently asserts its autobiographical roots at the expense of sharper plotting and characterizations, not to mention more energetic pacing."

Michael Rechtshaffen: Los Angeles Times
"[It] never manages to feel personal, and instead is reduced to coming off as just another raunchy comedy."

Jason Ooi: The Playlist
"The gross-out scenes and raunchy banter between the film's sex workers are funny, but its world is pretty small and unsurprising."

Chris Packham: Village Voice
"Biggs is appealing in the central role, although for him, conveying mortified embarrassment doesn't exactly qualify as an acting stretch. But he does have good chemistry with Montgomery."

Frank Scheck: The Hollywood Reporter
"The film is peppered with interesting true-life details, but these are overwhelmed by frantic comedic sequences."

Keith Watson: Slant
