Great movie. Lenny(Silverman) is the typical nice guy who feels he met the 'right one'. His buddy Joey(Cortese) is your typical womanizer. Throughout their misguided attempts to get Lenny together with his perfect one, they discuss women, relationships and single life. Its a not-so-hip Swingers for the East coast crowd that you and a girl can watch. Despite the fact that it got absolutely no publicity, it is really funny and quite memorable.

Not too many people have even heeard of this movie, let alone see it. This movie is absolutely hilarous, with the stealing of the women's underwear, to the day Silverman played hookie. I'm not usually into the "romantic-comedy" type movies, but this had a lot more jokes than love, so it got my approval. You won't be dissapointed!

Not much more to say about this bromantic comedy than has already been said, without spoiling the movie, but this movie is the entire reason I'm in the market for a VCR again. I haven't watched it in years, and unfortunately, it's only available on VHS.

ATTENTION Lionsgate Home Entertainment: VCRs are not going to be around forever! Do us a favor and get this gem out on DVD!

I saw this on HBO one day and fell in love with it. I have since bought a copy and watch it once in a while, when I need a laugh. Jonathan Silverman and Dan Cortese (who co-starred together on The Single Guy) play a couple of guys who represent polar opposites among single guys- one is the timid romantic who has trouble getting girls, the other is a womanizing egomaniac who has no trouble whatsoever getting girls. The movie follows them around for a few days as they date, trade one-liners and dating philosophies, play hookey from work, etc. The movie's pretty lightweight as far as plot goes, but it's one of the funniest comedies out there, and Silverman and Cortese have great chemistry as wisecracking buddies. R. Lee Ermey (the drill sargeant from Full Metal Jacket) has a hilarious cameo as a weird guy who tries out his creepiness on Silverman but makes the mistake of catching him on a bad night. This movie is great fun; seek it out.
