This is a well done movie, as in it's premise, with many actors addressing us earlier on, about their own views and attitudes towards sex, cause remember it's now 2000. What you don't count later on, is, if not watching the start, is the rapid turn the film takes. Yes our eight, twenty somethings, whatever, party like it's 1999, boozing, dancing, drug taking, and fighting. It's so 200O, this movie, which is colorfully, if deliciously entertaining and involving. Over the course of the night, things really get out of hand for two players, if instigated by a fracas with a bouncer, earlier. What ensues for O'Connell and Reid is sex gone wrong. O'Connell is charged with the rape of Reid, who back at his palatial spread, started coming onto him, and he returned his affections forcefully, against her will. But did he really rape as we have two sides to each story, as it appears Reid, her character, a wannabe actress here, has had a really bad history with booze. So really the film becomes in a lesser extent, a dramatic thriller. Who's bullshitting who. The film cleverly shows the different POV from our two, where Reid could of even made it up, where some flashbacks weren't authentic, or a little misrepresented, that's the fun in the story here. Like in Jerry Macquire, O'Connell matter of fact here, plays another big shot athlete, where only his best friend, Rick (Sean Patrick Flannery) stands by him, as really the other guys really don't know him. The dorky Trent (Ron Livingston) cracked me up, and stole the film. Besides the part where he tries to sneak back into the club, cause of his dress sense, wait to you see his hilarious flashback, later, before returning his crib, which he shares with the guy, that completes our foursome. Oh I didn't mention another short flashback, involving him with a much older woman, which you have to see. All performances are good here, and well as a sexy female cast, we have a couple of sexy bits, but this pic, will surprisingly involve you. Quite a potent film, if only for a unsatisfying or displeasing ending/result, that I highly recommend, especially to fans of some it's actors. Check out a scene of originality, where the druinken O'Connell, after his crime temporarily takes over a hamburger shop. Obviously, he really had the munchies.
