Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Might appear dated now, but Doug 'Bourne identity' 'Edge of tomorrow' 'Mr./Mrs. Smith' 'Swingers' Liman has such a firm grip on the narrative, all the way through, that this one almost acts as the template-setter for everything that came after, in spite of its superlow budget, that is evident. And no, this is not a 'Clerks' or a 'Mallrats' wannabe, though the supermarket kinda connects our main characters. The trope, as tropes go, follows different paths taken by various lead characters from 2 points in the plot, 1, that sets things off, and the other, that acts as kind of a pre-climax of sorts, if that makes sense (it will, when you watch it). However, this is not just a post Pulp Fiction piecing together gimmick. It helps that said gimmick is help by solid narrative set- pieces, like the one where Katie Holmes' and Timothy Olyphant's characters get together accidentally (for the 2nd time) when Holmes lets loose, for the first time in the flick, followed by the recurring, consistent way Taye Diggs' character's jacket becomes a plot-twist, and the dinner scene at William Fichtner's place (fanta- hilarious), the scene with X marking the spot for some delayed revenge etc. Anyways, was a nice blast-from-the-past kinda experience, which has more in common with Liman's own 'Swingers' and Favreau's 'Made' (both of them with Vaughn and Favreau). Sarah Polley, Gordon-Levitt wannabe Desmond Askew, Timothy Olyphant, Taye Diggs, Jay Mohr, Scott Wolff, William Fichtner, Melissa McCarthy, Breckin Meyer, Jane Krakowski, the vastly underrated JE Freeman etc. have all had their own paths (with Polley even helming great movies), but this is a good one to watch to remember what they were once a part of (in a good way). Worth multiple viewings....even the deleted scenes actually should have been part of the flick....maybe a future complete-cut??

With a dozen crazy characters, Doug Liman paints a vivid and bizarre picture of life in the late 90s for a group of LA teens and twenty-somethings. The humor and wildly hip and entertaining characters paint a very memorable portrait and take you a on a magical ride of emotions, wild situations and great music. While Doug Liman's "Swingers" will remain his masterpiece, this film still feels fresh, funny and new nearly 15 years later.Sarah Polley, Katie Holmes, Scott Wolf, Jay Mohr and Timothly Olyphant do some of their best acting and draw you in to a story that feels like a roller coaster ride that you want to take again. Thanks Doug Liman for a memorable 90s film.

A long (seems longer than 100 minutes), manic and extremely tedious movie about an extraordinarily obnoxious group of people who evidently are supposed to be funny but are only annoying. The most obnoxious actor and character by far is Desmond Askew as Simon, and his namesake middle segment - about four morons in Las Vegas - is the most irritating.The ONLY ten minutes worth watching in this stupid movie are a hilarious Christmas dinner involving characters played by William Fitchner, Jane Krakowski, Scott Wolf and Jay Mohr and a tiny but delightful bit with Melissa McCarthy. Both of those scenes are in the final "Adam & Zack" (Wolf and Mohr) segment, which would have made for a good end if only some of the morons from the insufferable "Simon" segment hadn't reappeared and dragged the movie back down into stupidity.Maybe you need to be a Tarantino fan to appreciate this movie. The 17-year-old straight male goons who have taken over movie theatres probably loved it - especially the middle segment about morons just like them. Except for the scenes with Wolf and Mohr, which seemed like a different movie, I hated it.

This is multi intertwining story lines split into 3 sections. Directed by Doug Liman, this is oddly compelling like an insane night that goes into the vault and never to be spoken about again.The first section, Ronna (Sarah Polley) Claire (Katie Holmes) and Mannie have a night to remember. Ronna is trying to make a couple of bucks by selling E. When she doesn't have the real thing, she start selling fake E. Katie Holmes is actually a good fit for this character. Sarah Polley is her usual sardonic self.The second section, Simon (Desmond Askew) is going to Vegas with 3 guys. I call it the three idiots and Taye Diggs. Desmond is certainly energetic. The problem is that these guys are so idiotic that I couldn't root for them.The third section, Adam (Scott Wolf) and Zack (Jay Mohr) are being forced to co-operate by cop Burke (William Fichtner). They set up Ronna for a sting but she gets away. After being creep out by Burke, they set off for a night out.I like the interlocking storyline. I like the first section best.
