Raul Faust Well, "Spread" is undoubtedly a very R rated movie, for obvious reasons-- strong sex scenes for Hollywood standards. Ashton Kutcher plays a womanizer who doesn't show any feelings for the girls he's been with, neither for his only friend. One thing that I enjoyed is how filmmakers bring the message that life gives back what you seed throughout it. If you never did respectful things to the people you've been involved, they won't bring anything good to your life in the future. Another thing that I liked was how it stayed away from the obvious Hollywood clichés we usually have in mainstream comedies; I mean, characters weren't any stereotyped-- with maybe the exception of Nikki--, turning the story much more believable. It only fails sometimes because it lacks a highlight moment, making it feel like a light version of the good franchise that "Cruel Intentions" was. "Spread" has a more adult perspective of the whole thing, taking it seriously for some moments, something that "Cruel Intentions" probably never did. Good picture anyways, even it not flawless.

suite92 Nikki sets himself up with Samantha: he gets a place to live, food, and new clothes on his back; she gets his attentions.He has a party while she's in New York on business. Then he betrays her at the party. The maid cleans up the party mess afterward. Seems the ability to think ahead is a bit impaired.Samantha's reaction to her first discovery of Nikki's cheating was unexpected: she got more interested in him as they talked things out.Soon after this he meets Heather at a coffee shop. She is very different than Samantha, and his interest in her (which arose from her lack of interest in him) eventually contributes to his breakup with Samantha.During the second half of the film, Nikki makes a few lifestyle changes in response to the pain he feels over not possessing Heather. This all seems unlikely; Heather can do nothing for him, since she is a broke sponger just like he is. 'Jump the shark' comes to mind.So, Nikki learns to bag groceries, do deliveries, and slows down on seductions. Oh, my. How long will that last, and why should it be interesting? The weakness in motivational development is perhaps the film's biggest downfall.Cinematography: 10/10 Excellent.Sound: 6/10 Someone with a more authentic voice might have been cast instead of Kutcher. His narration was repellent: not the content, but the qualities of his voice. I could not believe that he could convince anyone of anything. The music blares from time to time. When considered separately from the film, it was rather good. Within the film, it was next to irrelevant.Acting: 2/10 Kutcher drags down the entire proceedings. The only actor in sight was Anne Heche, and her performance, though good, was not enough to carry this awful mess.Screenplay: 0/10 Do I care about any of these characters? Samantha for about the first thirty minutes; after that, no one. Did I care how the film ended? No. If I were not writing this piece I would have stopped after perhaps ten minutes. Watching the whole 97 minutes showed that that would have been a good choice; the film was grinding and poor from beginning to end. Perhaps worst of all, this was a comedy during which I did not laugh or smile a single time.

crawlingintoyou For those who read about pick-up artists(PUA), must be familiar with the term Average Frustrated Chump(AFC). From being an AFC, with the right skill and practice, you become PUA or Womanizer or player, whichever you want to call. PUA in Mystery's era was packed with skill like 3 seconds rule,winging, Demonstrate-high-value(DHV), DLV, body-rocking and so on. The naked eyes cannot see these skills played by Ashton Kutcher. Those familiar with PUA will.Upon understanding this you will see why this movie is great. The writer must have done a very good research on Pick-Up artist scene and very skillful at writing 3-act structure screenplay. The writer has reversed the hero's journey from being a Player to complete AFC, in which in reality, an average guy would be from a complete AFC to skillful player. That concept made this movie genius and brilliant. It has been crafted skillfully in 3-act structure screenplay.Ashton Kutcher did a very good acting with his body language, facial expression and his voice tone. From different perspective, the shots are so artistic, and the soundtracks are well positioned in certain scenes. The second time you watch it(you will!), you will memorize the dialogs and the soundtracks, and what song comes next.This is certainly not your another romantic comedy movie. It is a movie for certain audience, and for those who read Pick-Up artist stuffs, will find this movie 10/10. I dare to say, this movie is one of the kind, the only movie in its category, with genius screenplay and great acting.. and of course..great sex scenes!

Little does he realize that he's about to fall victim to his own seductive game.Nikki has to decide whether he can live on his own once and for all in the hopes of finding something real.Fresh, funny and racy, the movie is a look at the trials and tribulations of sleeping your way to a life of privilege in Los Angeles. It is more of an ineffectual celebration of vacuous L.A. high life rather than a deconstruction of it. Ashton Kutcher is a credible and potent leading man with an easy address to the camera. He carries off the movie with some style.
