smart and fun , but far more witty than it is wise .

1
negative
an impenetrable and insufferable ball of pseudo-philosophic twaddle .
1
negative
the film is an earnest try at beachcombing verismo , but it would be even more indistinct than it is were it not for the striking , quietly vulnerable personality of ms. ambrose .
1
negative
it 's the element of condescension , as the filmmakers look down on their working-class subjects from their lofty perch , that finally makes sex with strangers , which opens today in the new york metropolitan area , so distasteful .

it takes you somewhere you 're not likely to have seen before , but beneath the exotic surface -lrb- and exotic dancing -rrb- it 's surprisingly old-fashioned .
3
positive
bolstered by exceptional performances and a clear-eyed take on the economics of dealing and the pathology of ghetto fabulousness .

3
positive
an impressive hybrid .

negative
not only a coming-of-age story and cautionary parable , but also a perfectly rendered period piece .
