Recommandations
- 50
Variety
This mildly amusing, resolutely inoffensive outing lacks serious sexual tension -- which might just make it a viable compromise date pick in limited release. - 50
New York Post
A mildly funny, stereotype-stuffed comedy. - 50
Los Angeles Times
Modestly entertaining film. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
As the film veers between cartoonish and earnest, it doesn't so much find bliss as try very hard to manufacture it. - 40
The New York Times
Except for the usual double entendres in which titles of mainstream Hollywood hits are twisted into salacious puns, Finding Bliss (Bliss is the name of the company's resident star) isn't especially funny. Nor is it sexy, despite flashes of nudity and fleeting glimpses of Grind's works in progress. - 40
Boxoffice Magazine
Redemption could have come if the story had more kick. - 25
The A.V. Club
It's a big-hearted, well-intentioned disaster. - 20
Time Out
It's the wooden plotting and cornball sentimentality--and, most unpleasant of all, the full-frontal nudity of Jamie Kennedy--that truly make this AVN-themed fairy tale, ahem, hard to swallow
