two hours of my life that i won't get back

Rating: 3/10 (14 November 2005)

In reading the other comments about this film, I see a lot of clichés being tossed about like 'adult', 'mature', 'riviting', 'provacative', 'real' and so on.
The subject matter and frankness about that subject matter was certainly not something you would want a child to see...but that does not necessarily translate into a 'mature' picture. In my estimation, it dealt with four morally flawed characters who acted like a bunch of over dramatic middle schoolers switching boyfriends/girlfriends, only with a lot of sex talk thrown in.
Perhaps the worst thing about this movie was the presentation of the story was very disjointed. It's one thing when subtle clues are added to accentuate the story, but having to 'guess' or realize "oh, it's a year later" detracts from telling the story. Don't get me wrong, I don't need a musical montage with characters frolicking in the park, flying news papers or a crossed off calendar to tell me time has passed, but just flipping the scene and five minutes into it dropping its a year later doesn't do it either.
Even with 'subtle clues', if not for looking at the IMDb before the movie I would not have realized the character was lying about her name! And quite frankly, I would not have cared.
Had the movie been made better, I can say that I might have at least been entertained while watching it. But between trying to figure out what was going on in the story and trying to discern what the two guys were saying it was painful.
