Features: DVD
Robert Downey Jr. is Blake Allen, an arrogant self-absorbed actor who gets a double dose of girl trouble in this wildly provocative "look at love, lust and sexual commitment in the 90's." (Los Angeles Times) They're as different as they are beautiful, but Carla (Heather Graham) and Lou (Natasha Gregson Wagner) have more in common than meets the eye. Each thinks she has the world's best boyfriend--until both realize they're talking about the same guy! Sparks fly when the two girls discover Blake's deception and team up to confront their lying, two-timing lover.
"A devilishly original take on modern romance." Washington Post
"Downey is undeniably magnetic... Wagner...really shines." Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
"It doesn't just sizzle. It stings." Rolling Stone
"Downey's tour de force!" Time Magazine
"Robert Downey, Jr, is stupendous..." James Berardinelli's ReelViews
Editor's Note
A comedy/drama about a struggling New York actor who is confronted by his girlfriends when they discover that he has been two-timing both of them with each other. Verbal fireworks ensue as he awkwardly tries to defend himself. In the process, questions about love and sexual commitment are raised and, just as quickly, discarded as new ones arise.

James Toback is a filmmaker whose work exists in a netherworld somewhere between high art and trashy exploitation. He is, if possible, a serious-minded, well-intentioned provocateur of sleaze. Time and again, the writer-director tries to tell stories of honesty but can never seem to keep himself out of the gutter. It's been said that earlier in life, Toback was a snake-in-the-grass pick-up artist with shameless dedication to his craft. Later in life, it seems that he turned to movies as a confessional of sorts, albeit on his own terms. Toback wants to explore human depths, yet he can't resist the temptation to pepper his explorations with some of his old dirty tricks....read the full review |
