Reception
Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 25% of eight surveyed critics gave the film a positive review; the average rating was 4.8/10.[2] Metacritic rated it 48/100 based on five reviews.[3] Peter Debruge of Variety called it "vaguely titillating" but of questionable interest to audiences.[4] A. O. Scott of The New York Times likened it to R-rated O. Henry stories and said it is more disciplined than Swanberg's previous films.[5] Mark Holcomb of The Village Voice wrote that it "is only sporadically a good sex comedy".[6] Diego Costa of Slant Magazine rated it 2/4 stars and wrote that mumblecore filmmakers' search for authenticity has led their films to become artificial.[7] Jason Bailey of DVD Talk rated it 2/5 stars and called it "little more than a series of sniggering, mediocre dirty jokes".[8]
