A different way of telling a story

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Two guys - one fat & ugly but with a golden heart, the other is suppose to be handsome (but looks like a vampire to me) and constantly horny; are in love with Mona. They think she is beyond beautiful but she is actually average at best.Mona is only 22, the guys are older, and Mona imagines herself as an educated sophisticate and sexually liberated. She wants both guys and her to be lovers.The horny vampire guy is ready to jump in but the fat guy is wisely cautious and rejects the idea. Oh, by-the-way, the two guys are old friends and this issue pushes their friendship to the edge.Mona leaves, Mona comes back. There's a lot of sneaking around between the guys as to just who will jump in bed with Mona without the other knowing it.The movie ends wide open so you can conclude the story yourself. Most of the acting is OK and plot easy to follow (even if it does get a bit circular at times). The moving part is best and comes at opening of story.
