Directed by relative unknown Rory Kelly, this film is a surprisingly fresh take on an old theme. With fine performances from Craig Sheffer, Meg Tilly and the always watchable Eric Stoltz in the lead roles, and with well casted supporting cast, the film explores the nature of modern romantic experience, and the intricate ideological patterns that have arisen thanks to changes in the dating game.

Ideological may seem an odd word to use, but the film does support itself ready for deeper analysis, though the intelligence of both script and direction is hidden under an layer of comedy that simply adds to the overall watchability of the picture.

While not a massive hit, the film enjoyed cult popularity, and I think its enduring success is largely thanks to the honesty with which it analyses its subject matter. Witty, intelligent, watchable and wise, this film is a must see for any aspiring script writer, not to mention critic.

Oh, and of course Tarantino's cameo analysis of Top Gun is of course worth watching in and of itself!

Somehow this movie attracted a cult following a decade or so ago. I bought it recently because of the good reviews. What a disappointment. The very slim plot - best friend obsesses over sleeping with best friend's wife - simply didn't develop enough to support a full-length movie. Well acted, perhaps - but who cares. Even the delectable Meg Tilly couldn't save this one. But the "Top Gun" cameo by Tarantino is one of the great classics of cinema, and justifies struggling to watch the rest.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bitterly funny indy film about love and lust. 18 Jun 2000
By missus jones - Published on Amazon.com

This is a terrific little overlooked film, worth watching with your mate especially if you're having problems! Themes of jealousy and lust and friendship are mined by a top rate ensemble cast- Tilly and Stolz especially have a great believable chemistry- and features standout cameos by Parker Posey and Joey Lauren Adams. Obviously made on a shoestring budget, this film dares to go to those uncomfortable places in relationships that we all experience, but rarely see in films because of the big budget studio whitewashing. Worth a look or two.

5.0 out of 5 stars Off-beat, funny, and poignant 29 Jun 2002
By Ruth Henriquez Lyon - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase
Unlike the standard Hollywood romance, this movie gives us a realistic view of people. The characters are quirky, neurotic, confused, and not really very glamorous. They are also very likeable, as we can sympathize and identify with the dilemmas they create for themselves. Even as the movie pokes fun at them for their foibles, there is also a tenderness for them and the self-imposed suffering they must endure.

The plot revolves around a friendship between 2 men and a woman. When one of the men (Eric Stoltz) marries the woman (Meg Tilly), the angst and complications begin. Although the course of the story seems foreseeable (not a lot of surprises), the film escapes being predictable by having believable characters that are like people many of us know or could know from our own lives.

In addition, the structure is unusual....the different sections of this film were written by different writers, yet all parts do seem integrated with the whole. Add to this the fact that the scenes are seemingly artlessly put together, so that often there is almost a documentary effect....what you end up with is an experiment in film making that doesn't require you to have a film degree to appreciate.

5.0 out of 5 stars indie film strikes gold! 8 May 2001
By Shadow Moon - Published on Amazon.com
I brought this film before I saw it. I was nervous because I saw all the two and three star reviews, but now I'm wondering if they were talking about the same film!

This film is GREAT!! Fine acting, great script, great everything! I don't understand why this movie isn't more popular than it is!

I guess Hollywood has brainwashed people into believing romantic comedies have to be pure fluff (i.e Julia Roberts).

But for those of us who HATE the way Hollywood panders to the general public (especially where romantic comedies are concerned), check out this movie!!

Even if you're not an indie fan, if you hate saccrine sweet romantic comedies, you'll love this one!!

Its a romantic comedy with bite!
