I feel sorry for the younger generation who think this is a film about normal, dating life. If this is normal life nowadays for young people-I am glad that I am not of this generation.
The only redeeming thing about this film is it shows how relationships built on animal magnetism usually do not work out.
I was embarrassed for Ashley Judd to have to do a cheerleading sequence in her underwear. Not just that it was underwear- but so unflattering. I guess it was supposed to charge some chemistry between the two roommates.
Who would want Hughs character(Eddie) after he slept with about a hundred women a year (going by the Trojans in the medicine cabinet)!?? What a signal sent to young people. Rubbers don't keep you from getting herpes, veneral warts, emotional traumas and other diseases that accompany frequent sexual encounters from multiple partners with no emotional attachment. And finding the "right thing" would change this man's sexual appetite and emotional insecurities?
And Jane's elation at, not being asked to be married, but to "move in together". Such tears of joy to be asked to play house? Any good quality I saw in her character was gone and I thought she was at least intelligent up to that point. Plus her best friend is so raunchy- I was amazed she held a job in the corporate world. She belonged behind a bar in a bowling alley.
I think the actors did a good job given the the material they had to work with.
This film is a waste of 1 hour and 37 minutes- unless you like looking down Ellen Barkins shirt- or up her skirt.
