It was okay, I guess...
I liked the music and the heavy-petting sex scene with Robert Downey and Heather Graham was pretty hot and this director is knowned for these scenes;I acted it out with my girlfriend, so not a bad movie.
Other than that, it pretty much sucked.

Not a good movie
Added 4/15/2009
I am usually a fan of small production movies but this is not a good choice. Do not buy it. If you want to see it, rent it. Not worth the money...

ONE OF THE WORST MOVIES OF ALL TIME
Added 12/18/2008
This movie is forever etched in my mind and I wasted time and money that I will never get back watching this horrid piece of cinema back when I was in college with my g/f. Despite the fact that I only paid maybe $3 or $4 to watch this garbage at a movie theater. I seriously due mean to tell you that I felt genuinely cheated out of my money and so disappointed when it finally ended. I kid you not and I'm not making this up, many people got up mid-way through the movie because it was just so bad and stupid. I stuck around to the end to see if there might be some sex scene or some 3-some maybe? nope, nada. All I saw was horrible acting and if I remember correctly 99% of the movie was inside the apt. only with these 3 fools just talking and nothing more spectacular happening. I would not recommend this to anyone unless you happen to really really dislike somebody and tell them to rent this as a bad joke on that person. Do not waste your time seeing this, you've been warned. I would rate this negative 5 stars if I could.

Typical Toback
Added 10/16/2008
Carla (Heather Graham) and Lou (Natasha Gregson Wagner) are two beautiful women who have never met and didn't think they had anything in common until one fateful day in New York. Both women are standing outside a sprawling loft when they get into a discussion about what pigs men are after both have just been hit on by one rather forward guy whose girlfriend catches him chatting up are two leading ladies. Lou does most of the talking describing her dream of a boyfriend Blake (Robert Downey Jr.). Blake is an actor and he can talk anyone into "buying a house without a roof." "Sounds irresistible" Carla replies. After more gushing from Lou something doesn't sit right with Carla. She realizes that her boyfriend also an actor sounds a lot like Lou's love and both women realize that Blake is stepping out with both of them at the same time. They break into his loft and wait for him to return where they plan to confront him and demand answers. Once the women break into the loft this film becomes like a stage play (a comparison that Toback hates as evidenced by his commentary track) taking place in one location and with a lot of talking. The acting has to be good to keep your interests with a film like this and fortunately it is. Graham is beautiful and great as the more self assured and forward of the two women but Wagner is given more of the funnier dialogue and has several rapid fire monologues. Of course Downey has the most difficult role having to be sympathetic and charming explaining his deception to both ladies. He is good though not perfect throughout. He is obviously playing Toback which he has done before to better effect in their previous collaboration The Pick Up Artist. Downey does have several funny moments though such as when he convinces the girls of what a great actor he is by playing Hamlet and when Graham asks him not to refer to her by name he replies " What am I supposed to call you, Timmy?" Of course Toback explores the same raw sexual material that he has explored in all of his work most notably the debate over ownership of the phallus that he first introduced in his debut film Fingers. Basically its eighty four minutes of talking that is occasionally funny, sometimes uncomfortable and truthful but ultimately leading to an ending that doesn't quite work. I would recommend that you check out the Pick Up Artist which is Downey's and Toback's first collaboration. It is PG-13 tame for Toback and is a sweet romance with Molly Ringwald as the object of affection and with a great supporting cast including Dennis Hopper, Harvey Keitel, and Danny Aiello.
