Don't even rent it on DVD

Rating: 1/10 (19 October 2006)

My wife and I watched this movie the other night. I thought she had taken it from the comedy section, so I was prepared for some light hearted romance and relationship dynamics between between the four characters, maybe something along the line of Notting Hill meets Alfie. Maybe.
So I settled in to my 'chick flick' mode. However, I was not prepared for the crass and vulgar mess cobbled together by blind mice that makes up this 'film'.
Boy meets girl. Boy meets another girl as well whom he pines for. Other girl seems uninterested. Other girl meets another boy after boy no. 1. inadvertently sets them up on a sex chat line. Girl no. 1 is a 'klingon'. Boy no. 1 still wants girl no 2, but is happy to have girl no. 1 for now. Boy no. 2 likes girl no. 1 when they meet at a party, while boy no. 1 spends the time at the party trying to get into the pants of girl no. 2. Time passes. Boy no. 1 breaks up with girl no. 1 because he has been sleeping with girl no. 2 who in turn had married boy no. 2. Girl no. 1 is fascinated by the infidelity and asks for all the gory details before running out and becoming a stripper again.
Girl no. 2 breaks up with boy no. 2 because she has been sleeping with boy no. 1 all the time, even before she got married to boy no. 2 (presumably after the party encounter). Boy no. 2 runs out in anger and goes to the nearest strip club where he encounters (surprise, surprise) girl no. 1, but not before he asks girl no. 2 for all the sordid details of her encounter with boy no. 1.
And then... and then... who cares? How the actors and actresses thought this was a good script is beyond me.
It is nothing but immoral pap, moving excruciatingly along from one scene to the next. I felt like slapping all the characters to make them catch a wake-up. In fact this movie was so bad that we switched the DVD off about halfway through. What really burns my bottom is the fact that the money I spent on this rot will somehow, somewhere trickle into the pockets of the filmmakers, who will feel justified in making more.
Don't waste your money, people.
