Reception
Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a rating of 0%, based on 0 reviews. Audiences give the film a 21% rating, based on 929 reviews, with an average rating of 2.4/5.[2] Todd Gaines, using Letterboxd, wrote: "Pamela Anderson can give me mouth to mouth any day of the week. She was born for the role of CJ Parker on Baywatch. Naturally, she would progress from Playboy to Baywatch to the big screen. So, if you're going to make an erotic drama featuring one of its biggest stars; you gotta make your picture extra exciting. But, a lot of Snapdragon's sexuality is forced."[3] Karl Williams, of The New York Times, wrote:"This erotic psychological thriller marks the feature film debut of popular actress Pamela Anderson in a leading role. Felicity (Anderson) doesn't fit the psychological profile, and her bombshell beauty is having an intoxicating effect on David."[4]
