Vividly conveys how difficult it is to discern truth from treacle in industries built upon surface glamour, fantasy, and manufactured dreams.

Hard to believe this was made by the same person who brought us Living in Oblivion (with Steve Buscemi).

A frustrating sit that lives up to the stereotypes of its title--it may be glossy on the surface, but there's nothing going on inside.

Doesn't have a lot of narrative flow, but that is ok, since the segments are funny and smartly satirical.

starts to seem more like an extended episode of 'The Real World,' as we're asked to care deeply about the woes, jealousies, inhibitions and fantasies of some fairly shallow people.

Strains to build up a head of comic steam, but there's nowhere very interesting to go.

A fine looking but extremely lightweight satire from Tom DiCillo...
