it seems like the only method of distribution the filmmakers or whatever did was sell this movie to cable networks to be played at late night when no one watches,except,for me. This movie is not good,but not horrible. I,am a teenager,and even though I really hate teen comedies,this one was above the scale in intelligence,but the humor was way too elementary for most perverted teens in my opinion. The only funny part was when Peter discovered Kerri Russell's dads sculpture of the weird looking Jesus Christ. And if you're going to have so much comedy about sex,why not actually show some nudity? I would not recommend to rent,but to watch at late night if you're really bored,

Great Movie With Great Story to Tell
11 June 2001
This movie kept me thinking for so long.The first time I saw it,I didn't understand the dark comedy,along with the very tense dramatic scenes,until the 2-3 times I saw it.The movie is superbly written by Alan Ball,who,is the master of comedy/dark drama.Kevin Spacey provides the picture with his star-stedded presence and grear acting ability.Annette Bening,even though not a favorite of mine,did a great job acting as the dysfunctional mom with many problems of her own.The second best thing besides the story,is the great acting ability of the surpisingly young actors and actresses in Thora Birch,Menu Suvari and Wes Bently.A great movie,definately recommend it.
