Reviews for Steam
If these one-dimensional stereotypes were to hit the steam room, they’d go quite limp.
Convoluted, contrived and bland while failing to be truly endearing, insightful or believable in terms of drama and romance.
Writer-director Kyle Schickner embraces every cliche with gusto. (Behold the cruel intolerance of the patriarchy!)
So cheesy and so poorly acted that it should never have seen the light of day.
[Director] Schickner's reach exceeds his grasp. In trying to tell three stories simultaneously in a two-hour running time, he allows for too many developments that seem driven more by plot than character.
The clichés are thicker than the Steam in Kyle Schickner's hackneyed dramedy.
