- 50VarietyRonnie ScheibVarietyRonnie ScheibThis mildly amusing, resolutely inoffensive outing lacks serious sexual tension -- which might just make it a viable compromise date pick in limited release.
- 50New York PostLou LumenickNew York PostLou LumenickA mildly funny, stereotype-stuffed comedy.
- 50Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinLos Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinModestly entertaining film.
- 40The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenThe Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenAs the film veers between cartoonish and earnest, it doesn't so much find bliss as try very hard to manufacture it.
- 40The New York TimesStephen HoldenThe New York TimesStephen HoldenExcept for the usual double entendres in which titles of mainstream Hollywood hits are twisted into salacious puns, Finding Bliss (Bliss is the name of the company's resident star) isn't especially funny. Nor is it sexy, despite flashes of nudity and fleeting glimpses of Grind's works in progress.
- Redemption could have come if the story had more kick.
- 25The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe A.V. ClubScott TobiasIt's a big-hearted, well-intentioned disaster.
- 20Time OutNick SchagerTime OutNick SchagerIt's the wooden plotting and cornball sentimentality--and, most unpleasant of all, the full-frontal nudity of Jamie Kennedy--that truly make this AVN-themed fairy tale, ahem, hard to swallow
- 20New York Daily NewsNew York Daily NewsThough the story is semi-autobiographical, Davis' judgmental script alternates cheap humor and clichéd characterizations with nuggets of faux wisdom about sex, love and film. At least porn doesn't pretend to be something it's not.
- 10Village VoiceVillage VoiceIt is particularly painful to watch Sobieski--whose unnervingly symmetrical, Botticelli face and supernatural poise can't help but hold the screen--put through the paces of Davis's almost unbearably labored script.
