Sexual Ping-Pong

Rating: 6/10 (31 August 2008)

This is a difficult film to like (imho) because as many other comments have noted, the characters are unsympathetic jerks. Further, I saw no chemistry among the various permutations and combinations of the four leads, nor any development of relationships. Perhaps better acting or staging could have floated this sinking ship.
The characters appear to jump into connections (I won't dignify them with the term relationships) with nothing more behind them than that they have ended up in close proximity to the other at some point. If any of you ride or have ridden a subway or crowded bus route, would you have sex with someone just because he or she happened to be standing near you one day? Exchange pleasantries, some banter supposed to be witty, lips get trembly, kiss, have sex. The concept is preposterous. Or, I missed out on a heck of a lot of potential activity back in my subway riding days! With all due respect (my better half bought this turkey for $3 at an odd-lot discount store), this had "chick flick" written all over it, confirmed by the sappy opening dirge.
In addition (as others have noted), the flashbacks and fast-forwards are not differentiated from "real time" at all, making the activities even more difficult to follow. This is worsened by the unsympathetic personalities of the leads.
Definitely, one to miss...
