unpopular raunchy comedy
Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “A reporter's (Elizabeth Banks) dream of becoming a news anchor is compromised after a one-night stand leaves her stranded in downtown L.A. without a phone, car, ID or money—and only 8 hours to make it to the most important job interview of her life.”

Movie Critics
…Watching the redoubtable Elizabeth Banks try to breathe life into the stillborn farce ‘Walk of Shame’ is like watching a team of paramedics perform CPR on the corpse of Ulysses S. Grant…
Scott Foundas, Variety
…one-note comedy… strained, formulaic comedy… The sight of Elizabeth Banks clad in a short, tight, clingy yellow dress for most of its running time is the primary pleasure of “Walk of Shame”…
Frank Scheck, The Hollywood Reporter
…Done in by décolletage and defeatism… the whole film is a missed opportunity because the situations repeatedly defy credibility, and the humor never says anything remotely fresh about human nature or the world we live in. …
Anita Gates, The New York Times
…a lumpy and laughless farce from writer-director Steven Brill (Drillbit Taylor, Little Nicky), a man who never told a joke he couldn't ruin. …
