Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I bought this from a bargain bin thinking it would be a light-weight romantic comedy, but oh-my-God, I did not expect what this really was. It was like watching a stage play... by David Mamet or William Inge. The dialog and timing is absolutely impeccable! And the subject matter so real and realistic - no, check that - so much BETTER than real life (we all wish we could be so clever in real life) presented in a realistic manner. Man, I love character pieces like this, but this moves so much faster than most character studies; there is no time to let your mind wander, let alone get bored (think "Noises Off" or "Send me a Tenor"). And the acting is incredible! Spot on. Tight group, able to play off each other extremely well, but I have to say Matthew Lillard is absolutely brilliant!! And Mars Callahan does it all - writing, directing, acting - with such grace it appears effortless. You HAVE to see this movie. F***in' unbelievable!!

Really enjoyed the way the characters interact and it really hit home in many of the scenes. Liked the witty dialogues and the way the characters each had a defining feature but were actually more than met the eye. What I really did not like was the girls' bit, found it a bit distasteful and generally a bit off, just didn't feel as well built and as complex as the guys' monologues. Definitely suggest you watch it, especially loved the little twists at the end, left me with a fun feeling after seeing it. Conclusion: Must see, although don't expect much from the girls...

I feel compelled to warn users "Dont listen to critics" I am an average person male and I watch a lot of movies. I am not a professional and often times think they lose the point of enjoying a film due to the fact they are always looking for whats wrong with it. I had the opportunity to view this film and thought it was a fresh take on the situations that arise from the dilemmas of love. I thought the dialogue was very honest and sincere. At times a bit over the top but none the less accurate. I have been in all these situations personally and know that a lot of men have too. These days the illusion of love is portrayed in the movies as being fairytale like and in reality it is far from it. The perspective given is of friends with different personalities all looking for love. The characters do a fine job of spanning all lifestyles and situations. The conversations are truthful and honest. I highly recommend this movie if you are trying to understand male thinking in relationships. So give it a try and see what it does for you before you accept the word of a critic

Two good reasons : 1) You will find out(if you don't already know) all the things that are wrong with relationships these days. Why everyone is playing on defense, and why (as a good friend told me) if two people are in love, they f*** (each other up)2) It's a chance to learn a lot of vital information about relations from a man's points of view and a then a woman's. This could help you from not having to go through all the torments of an ended relation (from a reason that you do not understand) and learning all this on your own.I can not understand why the movie has such a low rating. Maybe because people would have expected more action or i don't know. But this movie is more like 'food for the brain'. It can really make you wonder what you want in life, what you already have and what you might be searching for. It sound easy, but after this movie, i saw that all the years spent on relationships that ended badly, one night stands, and being the person that always has to hear what a jerk he is, but how their love will conquer all, all that experience can be summed up in about 90 minutes (even less, because i didn't know for sure what the women thought about all this). So .. in conclusion, if you seem interested about the subject you should see it. (and please ignore some of the bad acting and sometimes the cliché dialog because it's worthwhile )By the way .. this is my first official review, and the idea of the movie made me so determined to write it. Also if you like this sort of movies where more ideas flight around than bullets, check out The Man from Earth (2007).
