DVD Features Video: Widescreen enhanced with a pretty good picture, no complaints here. Audio: Dolby Digital 5.1 but the mix sucks. The music coming out of the rear channels overpowered the speech badly enough that the DVD actually sounds better in plain Dolby Surround. Extras: Directors commentary and the trailer, nothing exciting.

DVD QuickTake

I wasn't as opposed to this movie as Steve was, but I agree with the 2 star rating. The storyline just isn't plausible. I'm sorry, there's no way in hell I'd be kissing on a woman when I know for a fact she just got finished doing the deed with another guy. Nope, sorry, ain't gonna happen.

There were some fairly amusing moments of dialogue, and one scene with a vibrator that cracked me up, but it could have been much funnier.

BTW, there is a tiny bit of nudity in the movie, but it's not Amanda Peet so who cares.

Original Movies For Guys Theatrical Review

Maybe I should title this review Duped, as in I let myself be duped into thinking this would be a good movie. It wasn't. Amanda Peet, a pleasant surprise both with her acting and her nude scenes in The Whole Nine Yards, is pretty disappointing in this one, especially since we don't get to see anything this time around.

Peet plays Mia, an attractive woman that three dudes all fall for at the same time. The thing is, it's pretty much uncharted territory for these bachelors, who have made a habit of bagging women or at least lying about doing so, then bragging about their exploits to each other. To them women are nothing more than objects to be laid and then shown the door. When they find a woman they actually feel special about, their lives turn upside down.

They of course believe that they are the only one MIA is seeing, until they all show up at her place one night to pick her up for a date. Being bullheaded males they're not willing to give her up knowing one of their other buddies will end up dating her, so they all date her. Yeah right. Sure, they're whipped and everything, but it's hard to believe after hearing the sexual conquests these guys enjoy that they are so desperate for sex they would share sweet little MIA amongst themselves. It's obvious these guys are sex hounds, but seeing them all date and sleep with the same woman knowing that she just screwed their buddy an hour ago seems a stretch, hot chick or not. If it made for great comedy that would be a different matter entirely, but sadly it does not. It has its moments, but the laughs are so-so at best.

Could guys be that hard up for sex to put up with that? I mean sure, men do get p-whipped, just like women go psycho sometimes, but to go to such lengths only shows how shallow these guys really are, not to mention MIA In the movie the guys keep bumping into each other at her apartment as one leaves and the other is going in to see her. No scenes of her opening the door for her next date while still brushing her teeth, but it would have been fitting.

Peet comes out on top (pardon the pun) obviously, having all the sex and free dates she wants, and therein lies the story. I'm not gonna spell it out for you, but it's pretty darn obvious what her intentions were all along.

Do women play the sexual games that men do? Absolutely! Everyone knows that. What's sad, though, is that while both sexes play the game, most of the time the guys still have to pay for all the fun.
