Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The film is too busy promoting St. Hugh to offer serious discussion of his life.
Fresh: A pop history lesson that holds you, but it's no deeper than an E! True Hollywood Story.
Rotten: This is not a probing examination of Hef in all his complexity.
Fresh: Berman's goal was to reveal "the other side of Hugh Hefner that had not yet been portrayed in any of the prior documentaries about him." In that context, the film's balance is appropriate; considered in a vacuum, however, it is almost a canonization.
