dien This film represents a certain genre popular in the 90s, where the focus of the film was a bunch of twenty a thirty-something old friends talking about personal and sexual relationships. It is as boring and formulaic as it gets.You get exactly the characters you would expect in such a film. We have extreme feminists, weakling husbands worried about what is cheating and what is not, feeling guilty about a hand-job from a massage girl. We have a married couple who screw around with whoever they want (simply because they have an agreement to be liberal in their relationship and not tell their spouse about their adventures). Then another couple about to get married asking the question: "Is watching adult films cheating?" And the last but not least a writer with some pseudo-intellectual crap about how people are not more than animals and monogamy is not natural.It is predictable and you can guess the ending 15 minutes into the film. For a film claiming to talk about controversial adult topics it seriously lacks in the nudity department.I am very happy this sub-genre died with the 90s and I hope it's never coming back.
Rich-Y Enjoyable, funny film that didn't drag! No really intricate plot or especially deep characters but there are times when you want to watch a film like that and other times when you want to just sit back and enjoy a film without having to really think about it or keep track of a complex storyline. That said - the film deals funnily with issues of trust, monogamy and, of course, sex.Very funny performance by Jason Alexander - different character in many ways from Seinfeld's George - he has some of the best lines and the best laughs.Overall - a fun little film
holliemichellebp Ladies and men who do not want to be stereotyped as creeps should stay away from this one. It's no fun and a complete disappointment. More of the same old tired "boys will be boys" routine. It was largely an excuse for gratuitous female nudity and the promotion of the stupid idea that women must accept certain behavior from men. We're supposed to consider it a happy ending when a female character accepts behavior that is unacceptable and hurtful to her and keeps the jerk around instead of kicking him to the curb. As if that is the best deal she can get. It left me with a very bad impression of Adam Rifkin. It's bad enough when a very young man acts/thinks like an adolescent, but Adam is getting old enough that it is especially unattractive.
MovieGuy-44 This movie will appeal to those frustrated by love, sex and commitment in our confused 90's American culture. Men and women are both targets in the movie, as opposed to just men - as it seems early on. If you liked 'Friends and Neighbors' or 'In the company of men' you are a good candidate to 'get it' with this film and not be offended. As a man, I have to say that the message is 'sad, but true' too often...
