Cast

Release

The film opened in New York City on 9 August 2006.[1]

Reception

Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote that while it is "not a profound film", it "touches a chord" and "captures the wistful underside of the rampant materialism embraced by the young professional class."[2]

Matt Singer of The Village Voice wrote, "Nice low-budget cinematography and authentic New York City locations aside, there's little to engage viewers over the course of 100 wandering minutes."[3]

Tyler Foster of DVD Talk rated the film 1.5 stars out of 5, and called it a "jumbled, dissatisfying mess, one that would've been better left on the shelf."[4]
