Reception[edit]
Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a positive review and wrote that it “manages to bring freshness and warmth to the oft-told tale of youthful innocents adrift in Bad Old Hollywood.”[2]
Janet Maslin of The New York Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "The film is too loud and busy to establish this in terms of character or conversation, so it concentrates strictly on the visual set, which is garish but attention-getting. The acting consists mostly of unfocused posturing, in a succession of scenes that could easily have been rearranged without losing any of their dramatic focus. Only Mr. Curtis is any better than the material, with a world-weary gravity that seems, in this context, like the last word in maturity."[1]
