Rating: Summary: All round top film Review: I saw this one at the cinema and was so impressed I had to own the dvd. It's a great movie with lots of smart dialogue... and there is nothing I enjoy more than a movie with smart dialogue! It stars the very saucy Amanda Peet who you would know from Saving Silverman and The Whole Nine Yards. All in all a great movie with many quotables... the only negative thing I can say about this film is that it didn't have the best of endings... but it certainly didn't spoil this fine film.
Rating: Summary: vomitous Review: I suppose this film gets one star for putting the shoe on the other foot and letting the famale character be the manipulator...but other than that, not much to it! I love Amanda Peet and was excited to see this, and while she does a decent job, the film is just silly and trite. And sorry to disagree with the other reviewer from Denver who compared it to Sex and the City...but I know Sex and the City and this is no Sex and the City! Sex and the City is not only trendy and fun, but intellegent and insightful. There is nothing intellegent about this film and nothing insightful about these characters. (And if there were no such thing as anti-gay slurs and slang terms, this writer would have had trouble getting much of a script together at all!) If you want to see empowered women or get some insight into today's dating scene, get Sex and the City!

Rating: Summary: Pleasantly Surprised! Review: I wanted to see this movie because I am a big fan of Amanda Peet. I love her in "Jack & Jill." But I didn't expect it to be so funny. Thank God my relationships aren't as convoluted as these - at least not from my point of view. But once we stopped laughing, my girlfriends and I had to admit that guys - even the ones we know - can be pretty weird. It's cute.The big surprise - and my favorite part - turned out to be the director's commentary. I've never heard of Peter Cohen but he seems adorable. I recommend the DVD for the commentary alone. I hope they are working on Whipped II.
Rating: Summary: Whipped - Worth A Look Review: If you saw "The Whole Nine Yards" and became an Amanda Peet fan, take heed. "Whipped" is nothing like "The Whole Nine Yards" and neither is Peet's character, Mia. If you're looking for Amanda to repeat the same type of character in this film, you'll be disappointed. "Whipped" has similarities "In The Company of Men", but is a much lighter and funnier film. The story centers around three men in their twenties who look at sex like a sporting event. Every Sunday they gather at a diner and compare tales of their latest conquests. Everything is going well for the guys until Mia (played by Peet) comes into the picture. While the script isn't 100% hilarious, it does have some great moments. There are some good lines and a smattering of funny scenes, albeit cynical humor. Rather than write about them, see the movie and judge for yourself. "Whipped" is not a great film, but it does have some good laughs. If you liked comedies like "Love Stinks" and "After Hours", you'll most likely enjoy "Whipped".

Rating: Summary: Worthy Of Repeat Viewings Review: Ignore completely the terribly slanted review of the....... writer and the top of this page. This movie is laoded with side splitting scenes. Its basically a light-hearted looking at the scamming side of dating and each character is pretty darn hillarious. Over exaggerated yes but the diner scenes are cool and the scene where the sensitive musician enters Amanda Peet's apartment to find the other two guys fighting over her just tickles my funny bone pink! Then when the married guy approaches Amanda Peete in her apartment complaining that she broke up their guy bonding meetings is another great moment. The ending where Amanda Peete is holding court is a nice swerve as there are plenty of lady players out there. For a dose of fun pick this one up.
Rating: Summary: the poor man's "swingers" Review: my title's a little harsh - this is a worthwhile movie, to rent at the very least. apparently never intended as a major release, "whipped" has garnered comparisons to another movie that looked at the late 90s twentysomethings dating scene, "swingers". this time around, three friends recall their weekly sexual exploits. each one is a stereotype, with brad as the good-looking egotistical jerk guy, zeke as the seemingly more intellectual, freaky, extremely angry and egotistical jerk guy, and jonathan as the sensitive "for the last time guys, i'm not gay" guy. i'm exagerrating, but oftentimes their characters fall into that predictable trap. they all happen to fall for the same woman and each of them refuses to part with this seemingly amazing girl. she seems to have tamed two untamable lions, and of course, she's got jon wrapped around her fingers after she was cool with his taste for auto-eroticism and pornography. and despite the fights between the so-called buddies (they never really act like friends from that point on), no one really seems to find a problem with mia's dating three men at once except for the guys' married buddy, eric. it's rather predictable however, that mia is more than the innocent lovebird she seems to be, and that these fools, as the title indicates, are getting outplayed in their own game. i won't ruin the ending for you, as mia isn't the witch she could have been. she portrays a woman who can be just as scheming as any man, which is a little refreshing to see, especially since it's so true, and while some of the characters (especially zeke who is perpetually angry/cursing at something) are simply unlikeable and a little exaggerated, there are many people who are very much like this out there. it's no "swingers", but it'll make you laugh, even through the shameless and pretty much pointless toilet gag, because a good amount of this is true. eric's role is a nice touch and provides a needed dose of relief from zeke and brad's outrageous machismo. recommended for anyone's who's heard/given a cheesy pickup line.
Rating: Summary: A funny true to life comedy Review: Okay, having recently made a movie and received numerous critism for it's 'idiodic' and 'vulgar' plot, I have to say that Whipped is a fun, true to life comedy. If you don't want to admit it, than I will, THERE ARE GUYS AND GIRLS that talk this way and do these things. Yes, some characters, such as the married guy, are slightly blown up, but overall this was a fun and entertaining movie that puts the sexes a little closer together. So if you don't like or understand the modern young dating scene then don't watch this movie cause you'll just be wasting your time, but if you do then get ready for a hilarious ride!
