Cast

Reception

The film has a 17% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on twelve reviews.[4]

Robert Koehler of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Carlisle’s film is designed with a certain suburban flatness that at times perfectly reflects Bob’s inner deadness, though not his periodic spurts of sarcastic rage."[2]

Adam Keleman of Slant Magazine awarded the film one star out of four and wrote, "Playing the misogynistic, bar-hopping, impulsive, titular irritant, Campbell’s thespy histrionics come off as truly labored..."[1]

Tyler Foster of DVD Talk gave the film a mixed review and wrote, "Half a good film, mediocre video, dry audio and no extras, and yet I still can't bring myself to slap a skip it onto this release."[5]
