3 Star Review.......2007-03-13

This movie is okay, alittle werid exspecially once a certain someone takes some pills and the rest of the movie is alittle werid from then on out. Good plot, and it was a surprise to see Ray Allen in a movie.

meh~.......2007-02-23

could've been better. sarah michelle gellar isn't so great in it and niether is rebecca gayheart. i love the scene when adrian grenier's character is rolling. now that's an actor! it's basically a story of a basketball player that suddenly needs a lot of money to help his parents and gets tied up in mob business. you just have to see it for yourself...especially if you are an adrian grenier fan~

Very Dissappointing !!! .......2006-07-30

Like most reviewers, I rented this movie because Sarah Michelle Geller was in it. I am a HUGE fan of Buffy and her other movies such as Scream and the Grudge. She is an extrememly talented acctress and after watching this movie I can't imagine WHY she agreed to star in this film. Quit simply it was horrible. Some of the sex scenes she had were too racy for my taste and just dissappointing that she would agree to sell herself like this. Oddly enough after this movie her next 2 hits would be the Family movies - Scooby Doo and Scooby Doo part 2. I read on alot of fan sites that they were upset in her role in this movie. After this her roles were MUCH more carefully chosen. Thank Goodness !! If you are still unsure .. I highly suggest renting this instead of spending your $$ on purchasing it.

Sarah Michelle Gellar could have chosen better........2006-02-12

The only reason why I decided to buy this movie was because Sarah Michelle Gellar was in it. And well that's maybe because I am the biggest obsessor of Sarah Michelle since her day's in All My Children. But i've followed her through everything she has been through and I have boughten it all, and respectably all her movies have been great to watch. But this. to make this plain and simple.

The only thing this movie has going for itself is that Sarah Michelle Gellar was in it. Adrian can not act for his life. He has to be one of the worst actors in Hollywood ever. It's pathetic over how he books any movies or gets on tv. Sarah Michelle Gellar's acting pretty much saved this movie from the big negative stars it would have been. But Sarah Michelle could have chosen a better movie to be in instead of this, but you know. Money is money I guess. So if your a fan of Sarah Michelle Gellar, or the mafia, you may like this movie. But for me, this is the worst movie Sarah Michelle Gellar has done, even though she was not bad in it. Her acting shines time and time again.

Sorry, this movie was terrible........2006-01-12

I dearly love Sarah Michelle Gellar and Joey Lauren Adams. The whole reason I bought this movie in a $5.99 bargain bin was because of the two of them. And neither nor both of them was enough to save this film for me.

This movie jumps and bounces all over the place. The basketball player is cheating on the mafia girl with his professor. The professor is cheating on the basketball player with a couple of swingers. The chemistry student made up LSD "according to the original formula" and the basketball player carried it on a plane and no drug dogs caught him? And a Harvard student is stupid enough to take five doses when he's been warned only to take one?

And as if the previous part of the movie wasn't bad enough... then we get to watch the rest of the movie through the funhouse mirror of an LSD trip, the swingers coincidentally turn out to be FBI agents investigating the mafia girl's dad, the deal with the dad turns out to be a sham... what the HECK?

Sorry but this movie stinks. Like I said above, I only paid $5.99 in a bargain bin for it and I feel like I got ripped off.

Description

This innovative drama from writer and director James Toback (BUGSY, BLACK AND WHITE) follows the travails of Alan Jensen (Adrian Grenier), a Harvard student determined to live life to the fullest and find the ultimate truth. He gets high regularly, and is sleeping with Holy Cross cheerleader Cindy Bandolini (Sarah Michelle Gellar), who also happens to be a mobster's daughter. Simultaneously, Alan is carrying on an illicit affair with his philosophy professor, Chesney Cort (Joey Lauren Adams), a woman with a vast sexual appetite. When his parents lose their Kansas home in a tornado, Alan is desperate to help them financially. He turns to Cindy's father for a loan and is soon entrenched in a high-stakes gambling scheme. But all is not as it seems and Alan soon finds himself in over his head with many aspects of his life: his drug use, the women in his life, and even the FBI. Grenier is endearing as the truth-seeking Alan, and as a tough-talking Mafia princess, Gellar steps far away from her television persona as Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Eric Stoltz and Rebecca Gayheart lend their talents in supporting roles that add to the film's twisting storyline.
