This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I have a sneaking suspicion that writer/director/actor Mars Callahan originally conceived this movie as a stage play - almost the entire movie takes place in one place, for one thing. But the stagy feeling of the enterprise is just a minor quibble compared to the real problems this movie suffers from. The previous user commenter used the word that I would best describe this movie - "exhausting". Everyone talks very quickly, and the editing is so rapid-paced that it makes a Russ Meyer movie look absolutely restrained. It's not just the speed of the words that hurt the movie, however - everyone in the movie comes across as unbelievably crude and obnoxious. No one is sympathetic or even interesting. The only scene in the movie that works is the last one, which is calmly acted and directed enough that it's interesting. Apart from that last scene, the only other praise I can give the movie is that despite its low budget, it is professionally lit and photographed.

i started to watch this expecting it to be mildly amusing but overall watchable, and ended up not being able to force self to watch to its end.within 5 minutes it grated on my nerves from a non stop barrage of unrealistic dialogue between supposed friends which just didn't let up,and far from being a witty and interesting take on male/female perspectives it just seemed trite and annoying with 'maybe' the occasional observation that would have been funny if i wasn't already so far gone as to not care.if it wasn't so full-on in your face trying to force the characters views on you it may have worked,but am sad to say it is full on and doesn't work at all in my opinion,only giving it a 3 rating and thats because there's a small possibility it improved after i gave up watching it( which i doubt).

After reading the reviews, I had to see this movie! I went with my husband and friends and we laughed endlessly! We all agreed that we want to see it again because we missed some of the humor because of the exciting fast pace!!! Cuba Gooding was excellent and Mathew Lillard gave a convincing performance!!! Mars Callahan is a great writer and director!! Keep it up!!! We also noticed that the camera angles and facial feature close ups were very unusual in that there was incredible definition and expression. Great camera work as far as we were all concerned! The women in the movie were very forthright and outspoken as well; not to be outdone by the men! A definite must see!!!

Just how atrocious this film is. If I can prevent one person from seeing this movie, my life shall not have been lived in vain. Can you say shill? There can be no other explanation for some of the remarks here, promoting this film. The incessant barrage of graphic sexual descriptions instantly reaches the level of high school titillation and exploitation. The film will be popular with those physically old enough to get in, but with an intellectual age of 13-17. There are a few moments with some clever dialog; you'll notice them right away since they are so rare. Oh.. Hallelujah! its only about 90 minutes long. This film is so formulaic, it should be included as a classic example of "How Obvious Can a Film Be, To Be Created to Appeal To The Lowest Common Denomenator of Filmgoers?" Unfortunately that would send people to see it, which it simply doesn't deserve. *Watch the parade of guy actors rant about their character's pet peeve. *Prepare to suppress your gag reflex as every oral sex joke and gay stereotype is stuffed down your throat. *View with disbelief as the women are introduced and you question whether you walked into the wrong theater and somehow are watching the wrong film. *Suddenly realize that yes, they're going to subject you to the same behavior and style with all the women character's raving monologues. There are a couple of moments of actual acting when the actors realize that they might have some fun with the portrayal of their smaller than life character. Avoid this film at all costs.
