The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: C
"... feels slack and self-indulgent, more of a decent HBO special that's being asked to do more than it can."

Austin American-Statesman: 2 of 5 stars
"Her material is too shallow and solipsistic to transcend what it is: juvenile provocations from a young woman reveling in her brassiness."

The Palm Beach Post: B-
"The onstage footage redeems the movie."
