They go to a dance club and Christina grabs into Peter, played by Thomas Jane. Sensing chemistry without getting the whole story, Christina and Courtney take a road trip to find him.
The commercial for this movie makes it look like a chick flick; but, in reality, it's more of a female skin fest, featuring Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate in very skimpy outfits.
I couldn't quite figure out why this movie is rated R. Scary Movie (the first one) had grosser humor in it than this and it was rated PG-13.
The storyline gets a bit erratic at times. The film editor seems to be a bit asleep at the wheel. It does have it's funny moments, including a... uhhh, tonsil piercing of sorts. ;)
Pre-movie warnings: VERY brief nudity (male butt cheeks), profanity, a truckload of innuendo, ladies' room groping, some off-key singing on Cameron's part, and the re-immergence of the acting career of Jason Bateman (don't ask me why).
A semi-decent matinee date movie; but, I wouldn't shell out the night time bucks on this one.
This movie revolves around three gal pals, Christina (Cameron Diaz), Courtney (Christine Applegate), and Jane (Selma Blair) and their close encounters with the male kind. The guys, however, definitely take a back seat to these three twenty something misses. I confess, it was a bit startling, though funny, to see these gals break into a song fit for a drunken stag party. Some of the scenes were done tongue and cheek. Check out the Dick and Jane scene. You will know the scene I mean, when you see it.
This film is not for those with delicate sensibilities, as erect male sex organs, anal sex, oral copulation, and other usually taboo subjects are ripe for gags, many of which, while filthy, are often funny. If you do not like your jokes down and dirty, then this is not the film for you. If you are broader minded, then you may enjoy Nancy Pimental's screenplay and the silly cavorting of the delightful Cameron Diaz, Christina Applegate, and Selma Blair, once you get over your initial shock.
I think this movie must have been intended as an `American Pie' with women outside their teens. You know, raunchy, fun, yet with the grace of knowing what it is and laughing at itself and the world. Whatever, I am stunned that Cameron Diaz and Selma Blair would put their names to this tacky piece of film that is an excuse for pretty women to shake their booty and talk (and sing!) about male anatomy. Intelligent this is not. Christina Applegate's defining TV character Kelly might have written, produced and starred in this it is so mindless and immature. But here Applegate is the `mature' one - a foil to Diaz's ditzy character.
Perhaps this film is supposed to be striking a blow for feminism - you know, girls can be shallow and only after one thing too. That message is clear in the first five minutes of the film - I'm only sorry I spent the next 82 minutes of my life watching it to see if maybe there was something more. There wasn't.
