A waste of 90 minutes of my life

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Blistering performances.

A surprisingly good movie with quite controversial story. I like the characters, and I think all actors were casted perfectly. They were real. I mean you can meet people like that among young professionals, single, who like to have fun, but get no responsibility. By watching them I could exactly recall meeting someone like that more than once.
Especially the duo of Tara Reid and Jerry O'Connell. She was great as an emotionally unstable aspiring actress, who get the chance to get some money by accusing a guy of rape. Then O'Connell, a "classic jerk" - young rich businessman with no respect for women at all. Each one of them tells his / her own version of the story . They are both very convincing -At least they convinced me - but at the end of the movie, the spectator realize, that the truth is somewhere in the middle, meaning none of them says the whole truth.
I think the brilliant part was to get their friends - played by Sean Patrick Flanery and Amanda Peet, lawyers - to defend both of them in court, which places them in an awkward situation and has an impact on their own relation.
Well played, good story line. In spite of other opinions, I think this movie is very real. It show a kind of visit card of the young generation in late nineties.

Great premise, not so good execution. I really dug into this movie after the first 10 minutes. It shows you the typical wild night lifestyle of young adults. On this particular night, MANY things happen, and one lead to another to a raping (or did it really happen?).The movie is pretty interesting because it clearly defines the personality of it's six main characters. Then, it's up to you to reach a conclusion. There are many clichés as you may expect in a movie that portrays a life style. We have the sexy smart girl with an attitude, the sexy dumb blonde whose life's a mess, the professional football player who is a fun jerk, the smart but boring girl, the drunken pervert who everyone likes, the lawyer who has a normal life style. and the pretty boy who just acts pretty when is on screen.Well, all of our characters get really drunk, have wild irresponsible sex (hilarious scene involving Livingston), and get home. The day after, with a horrible hang over, they know about the unfortunate events involving the dumb blonde and the footballer. The movie gives you clues in flashbacks and it's now up to you to reach a conclusion.In my opinion, Tara Reid's character wasn't "abused". Obviously she is a woman with BIG issues like an ex boyfriend who left her, her addiction to alcohol, and a slutty personality. She gets really angry after the footballer tells her the name of her friend. Anyways, this movie gives you the chance to think and choose the best ending option.Watch it for it's decent and hilarious performances. Amanda Peet (always beautiful, classy) and Ron Livingston steal the show. This may not be a GREAT or revolutionary movie (because it's really pretentious) but it's very entertaining and deserves a watch.

An end of nineties and 20th century film which attempts to discuss issues of relationships between twenty-something men and women, sex, rape, and our opinions on each. It does not try to be too clever though, some of the characters are unsavoury but the cast are all young, fresh faced Hollywood stars, not the big names though. It revolves around two groups of friends, men and women who discuss things like the first date, sex, and what they want in an partner. They meet on a night out and most end up sleeping with each other. However, the next day one of the women accuses one of the men of rape. We then see how each character rally's around their friends, how the men are pushed away at times, how each group can mistrust each other, and how the cops try to work it all out. Jerry O Connell stars as Michael, a Jock accused by Sara. We are then shown in flashback both sides of the story. Sara says she was raped, but has a history of going with the wrong type of guy and being sexually forward. Michael says it was not rape, and that she consented. As there is no real proof we have to make up our own minds, leaving us to think about the state of modern relationships. However, there is comedy in the film, and all the performances are good, particularly from Emily Procor whose part is small. The dialogue is good with some funny lines, and the discussion between friends about sex is both funny and honest and will please both sexes.7 out of 10

This film was full of wild and sexy scenes and not worth viewing, unless you like Emily Procter(Whitney Bryant),"CSI Miami TV Series,'02, who charms and delights Sean Patrick Flanery (Rich Hamilton),"Kiss the Bride",'02 who played his role just as you would expect him to, charming all the gals and even scoring!! Emily Procter showed her great FORM and good acting skills and she can presently be seen in the CSI Miami TV Series, with David Caruso, as a gun expert with her nose down the barrel. I am quite sure we will see Emily advance to better acting roles and a very bright future on the big SCREEN! This film tried to tell a story, but it just did not quite make the grade!!!
