Plot Summary
Christina (Cameron Diaz) and
Courtney (Christina Applegate) are two single girls who like to have fun.
Fun with the boys that is. Their
motto is, forget about Mr. Right and have fun with Mr. Right Now!
After
getting home to Christina’s San Francisco apartment they find their
friend Jane (Selma Blair) tucking into a big tub of ice-cream and crying
her eyes out over the latest man in her life.
Christina and Courtney insist on taking her out clubbing.
Christina bumps into Peter (Thomas Jane) at the club and surprises
herself when she finds him more interesting than her usual conquests.
Before they can get together Peter has to leave and Christina finds
herself thinking of what might have been…
Review
It’s time for the boys to
make way for the girls because unlike most sex comedies it’s the girls
who are being vulgar and crude this time.
This sex comedy follows the American Pie vain and like most
sex comedies in this vain the plot is pretty much non-existent.
There’s loads of sex, penis and semen jokes.
It is basically a movie of
comedy sketches joined together by the thinnest and silliest of plots.
This would be okay if all or most of the sketches were funny but
this film is very hit and miss. For
every funny piece there is an inane piece with a high cringe factor!
The opening scene has Christina (Cameron Diaz) gyrating furiously
to the sounds on her personal stereo as she walks up the hill to her
apartment. This is the type
of scene that can be frivolous and charming, but isn’t.
Christina just looks demented!
Unfortunately there are just too many of these stupid scenes.
Without a good story the
characters need to be likeable but there isn’t much charm here
especially with Christina and Courtney.
Jane (Selma Blair) is probably the most likeable and her hapless
misadventures are the funniest in the movie.
She has a deceiving sweet innocent look but she ends up in the most
embarrassing situations.
This
movie will probably be best enjoyed by very drunk hen parties! Maybe I’m being too hard on the hens!
