Rating: Summary: A Hilarious Movies! Review: To all those reviewers (if you can even call them that) who had a hard time with this film, GET A LIFE! This film is awesome. I must have laughed out loud at least 50 times. Finally, a movie that tells it like it is in the dating world -- especially in New York City. Whipped is a light hearted comedy (crude at times) that never takes itself too seriously. A few of these reviewers might benifit from doing the same???
Rating: Summary: I can't help it, but this film made me bust a gut! Review: Usually, the film has to be truly outstanding for me to throw it five stars. And I usually give them to films that hit me hard. Fact is, Whipped was one of them. I'm not shammed to say it. Watching this movie had me laughing so hard that I couldn't hear the movie. It's rare, in my case, for a movie to make me laugh hard, but this movie did indeed do so. I also like the direction of the film with a slight documentary touch to it. Funny script. Overall, this is defiently worth seeing whether it's rental or buy.
Rating: Summary: Best Three-Star Movie You'll Ever See Review: Well, it's a just a bunch of guys talking about women. They're all players, and they share their exploits--except for the married guy, who's a foil to the others. It's kind of a stuipd premise, and most of the scenes are pretty obvious and not funny.Predictably, they all end-up involved with the same girl (Mia, played by the super-cute Amanda Peet). The execution of that twist is well-done and works to inject interesting irony under the humor. But that's really the only thing going in the whole plot. The conflict development happens a little bit late in the movie, which makes it something of a slow start. (Just a little. I mean, it's not as a bad as "Snow Falling on Cedars".) The to-the-camera narratives are done out-of-context of the movie, which makes them plausible and less awkward than in most other movies that try this silly technique. And since they're less awkward, they come off as a little bit more insightful. The plot resolution is a little ambiguous, and kind of sudden. But the movie examines the aftermath very deeply, and that's where it makes its point; that's where the real curve ball comes out.
