My biggest problems with this movie were the inconsistencies in the character's personalities and the fact that two thirds of the acting was horrible (not to mention the guy in the white suit). They had a story, but I felt like this movie could have been made by an adult movie director, because the whole time it was like I was watching a porn without any sex. If this story had have been played out on stage instead of on film, I think it would have done much, much better. When listening to the dialog in this film, it was like I was overhearing an argument my neighbors were having through the wall of my apartment. As for the inconsistencies; one minute the characters felt hate, next love, then they all hated each other again, it was all very back-and-forth and very confusing to get a feel for what each of these characters were actually like and to connect with them. The last thing i'll mention is the "mirror scene". I didn't like it, it was borderline disturbing for me to watch, and went on for far longer that what it should have.

After sitting through this god-awful 82-minute excuse of a film, and having previously wanted to gouge my eyes out after having watched another James Toback-directed mess called "When Will I Be Loved", I've come to the conclusion that he has the best agent in the world. How else can these horribly written, painfully-directed pieces of trash get made in the first place.I like Robert Downey Jr., but perhaps being in this movie drove him to substance abuse.Heather Graham has to be embarrassed about her zombified performance. Half the time the camera is on her she just is looking off in a daze.Such a crappy script. Prepare yourself for Hollywood name-dropping galore (example: five minute meandering discussions on Denzel Washington's acting....etc.)There's a great character in Joseph Heller's novel Catch-22 named Dunbar. He spends most of the time in the novel shooting skeet, which he abhors. When asked why he shoots skeet all the time if he hates it so much, he replies that it makes time CREEP by, and he'll have a longer life. Well....if you really want to feel time creep by, watch this film! I swear...the 82 minutes will feel longer than a 4 hour David Lean epic. It goes on and on and on and on...I hope I never watch another James Toback film again. If I could give this NO STARS, I would.

First and foremost, an utter waste of three extremely talented actors. Though, since they chose to appear in this pretentious tripe, maybe one should put the blame on them? But no. An actor has to earn a living just like the rest of us. I feel sorriest for Wagner. She was a talented nobody going into it and a talented nobody coming out of it.Stagey in the extreme, it is like a piece of pretentious, off-Broadway, New York psycho-drama in fear of disappearing up it's own...you know what! Why on earth would two attractive, intelligent women stay in the apartment of the contemptible philanderer that Downey plays having once confronted him except to stretch out a ten minute drama into a full length movie??? I have no sympathy for any of the characters. It's all a load of bunkum. Watch and waste valuable hours of your life. Clipping your toenails would be more productive and profoundly more desirable.Utter rot.

First, ask yourself this question: What i am looking for? a) Light entertainment b)Great performances?. If you reply a) pass this movie, it will be booooooooooring. If you reply b) then this one's for you. Robert performance is great, and the two girls are good partners. Just to give an example check the scene at the jacuzzi. That scene was than only once, with dialogs between the 3...!!! I know there's a kind of monotony being filmed only in an apart but it's just a moment in the life of 3 people showed in a direct way. Now, that the studio's marketing dpt decided to promote it as a lightweight comedy is real, just look at the video cover and these comment (and others comments) and we'll agree.
