The Players

There’s enjoyably smutty comedy to spare... but the film’s bleakest segments are actually its strongest.

A slick, occasionally hilarious but ultimately uneven appraisal of France’s favorite extramarital pastime.

If only the transitions in and out of the dollops of broad sex comedy weren't such a bumpy ride.

The Players is an odd beast that, like all omnibus films, is only as strong as its weakest link.

Greater female input might have alleviated the film’s tiresome chauvinism.

An extended riff on marital infidelity, this is the rare omnibus film that isn't just a mixed bag -- it very nearly succeeds at being uniformly bad.

It’s a series of pointless, boorish skits about two unrepentant lotharios.
