TV Guide Magazine
Only Lynch's over-the-top network executive stands out in this otherwise bland film that tries for satire but neglects to be funny. - 50
Chicago Tribune
There's nothing classic about Surviving Eden, even if it is better than reality TV. - 50
Chicago Reader
Its labored goofiness seldom transcends the stale format. - 40
The New York Times
Although the early scenes hold out some promise...the movie quickly runs out of ideas. - 38
New York Daily News
The movie is hindered by its weak script, but there's also a bigger problem to overcome: If we want to laugh at superficial celebrities, we already have plenty to choose from in real life. - 30
Variety
A flighty and unnecessary send-up of reality television. - 12
New York Post
An impressive supporting cast can't save this painfully unfunny, ham-fisted mockumentary poking fun at reality TV shows. - 10
Village Voice
This witless satire dares to take on the culture of--get ready for this--reality TV! Arriving a stupefying five years out of date, Surviving Eden is a not particularly rigorous attempt at mockumentary.
