Alternative Film Guide, June 21
Debets’ remarkable, understated comic performance would have done Jacques Tati proud, while the colorful characters that populate this unglamourized LA are all beautifully played by a top-notch supporting cast that includes Chad Allen as an HIV-positive pothead, Diarra Kilpatrick as a gorgeous transvestite sex worker, and Michael Airington as a sweet-and-sour drag queen.

…it has enough pleasing vignettes to win us over..the same tasty spirit as Woody Allen's many homages to Manhattan…Lead actor Debets has an appealing deadpan presence.
