Plot summary

The Los Angeles club scene is a place of booze-fueled decadence and debauchery. In a night full of possibilities, eight 20-somethings take to the clubs seeking good times, companionship and maybe a little sex. But in the harsh light of the morning after, their worlds are thrown into a spin of confusion when hungover Sara accuses hard-partying Mike of date rape. Loyalties are tested as each among them is forced to take sides.

A pretentious movie which is only entertaining.

Great premise, not so good execution. I really dug into this movie after the first 10 minutes. It shows you the typical wild night lifestyle of young adults. On this particular night, MANY things happen, and one lead to another to a raping (or did it really happen?).

The movie is pretty interesting because it clearly defines the personality of it's six main characters. Then, it's up to you to reach a conclusion. There are many clichés as you may expect in a movie that portrays a life style. We have the sexy smart girl with an attitude, the sexy dumb blonde whose life's a mess, the professional football player who is a fun jerk, the smart but boring girl, the drunken pervert who everyone likes, the lawyer who has a normal life style. And the pretty boy who just acts pretty when is on screen.

Well, all of our characters get really drunk, have wild irresponsible sex (hilarious scene involving Livingston), and get home. The day after, with a horrible hang over, they know about the unfortunate events involving the dumb blonde and the footballer. The movie gives you clues in flashbacks and it's now up to you to reach a conclusion.

In my opinion, Tara Reid's character wasn't "abused". Obviously she is a woman with issues that have affected her life; like an ex boyfriend who left her, her addiction to alcohol, and the impression she gives to men about "flirting". She gets really angry after the footballer tells her the name of her friend. Anyways, this movie gives you the chance to think and choose the best ending option.

Watch it for it's decent and hilarious performances. Amanda Peet (always beautiful, classy) and Ron Livingston steal the show. This may not be a GREAT or revolutionary movie (because it's really pretentious) but it's very entertaining and deserves a watch.

Body shots - I wish they'd shot some bodies ..

There is one word for this film, WOEFUL.

This film follows the lives of 8 people (4 girls, 4 guys) and one night and its aftermath. It's a simple enough story. 4 girls meet the 4 boys, 1 boy 'rapes' 1 girl, 1 girl bonks 1 boy (who is really in love with the 'raped' girl), 1 boy is bonded by 1 girl and the other 2 are happy in their relationship. YUK.

It's a silly story, even sillier script and the characters are completely unlikeable (even in the remotest sense). It strikes me as a film someone decided to throw together after a night on a huge bong with a weekend to spare.

Don't bother watching this.

Gets off to a great start

Before falling off into oblivion. The first forty five minutes were good. It starts off in an interesting way and it's easy to become immersed in what is going on. Unfortunately the second half is poorly written. The driving force is killed off, and what follows only leads into the least anti-climatic ending ever seen. What's worse about the ending is that it fails to resolve any of the film's events. Which almost makes the entire movie a waste of a film.

The directing is great, way better than this film deserves. The acting was good. I liked Jerry O'Connell's performance. Tara Reid was surprisingly convincing in displaying her emotions. Amanda Peet could have done better. Ron Livingston was great, and is shown in a somewhat different light.

The film has a lot of wasted potential. I'm surprised that the last half of the script wasn't completely rewritten. It is as if the writer only planned out the first half before starting to write it. If it's a dollar rental, it may be worth it. Just to be safe, I'd only recommend it if it ends up on a subscription movie channel.
