Rating: Summary: Fine Black Comedy Review: A black comedy that is more serious than most, this is a fine look at self-delusion in a relationship. As you watch, ask yourself: who is the most delusional of these three people, and how does that affect how the plot progresses? Fine performaces by all three actors (good to see Wagner in something a little lengthier after her small part in "High Fidelity"). A little talky for some people's tastes, but works beautifully in the enclosed space of the loft. Beautifully filmed, with great use of corners, mirrors, and a rice-paper door. Good commentary track, though a little too jokey during some interesting dramatic parts.
Rating: Summary: 3 people cast......fighting in an apartment Review: Okay... this was the worst movie I have like EVER SEEN!! Those actors probably all regret making this movie. The whole 3 of them sit in a really nice apartment the whole time and fight, but then the one girls still screws around with the guy.. it was a completely pointless movie. I'm sure it was a VERY cheap movie to make because of they are in apartment the whole time and the cast is so small. I can't believe I wasted 1 hour and 40 minutes of my life on that movie.. It doesnt even deserve 1 star.
Rating: Summary: another one bites the dust Review: me and my friend were looking for a movie to watch the other day, and we saw this title, in the comedy section of the video store, of all places. This movie is anything but a comedy. this movie is more like a peice of junk that the actors probably wish they had never done. I know that if I was in this movie I would be enbarassed beyond beilef. There are many things wrong with this movie and one of them is the language, it was awful. it was so bad that it drew your attention away from the rest of the dialog, another is the characters there are not really people like this in the world who would just sit around and talk about the kind of things that are discused in this movie instead o being billed as a comedy, this movie should of been billed as a list of insults to call people. In less you like bad language and lots of talk don't see this film.
Rating: Summary: Two Girls and a Guy Review: This is a great movie. Too bad this is underrated, but some underrated films are classics. Very sexual, cute, funny and sometimes upsetting!
Rating: Summary: quirky, cute and under rated Review: I found this film a lot of fun to watch. True, it certainly isn't great by any stretch of the imagination but it has the great Robert Downey in it. I certainly don't agree or condone Downey's personal life but the man certainly can act...make no doubts about that!...and Natasha Gregson Wagner is wonderful. This beautiful and talented young woman seems to be greatly under rated just as her mother, the Glorious Natalie Wood was.
Rating: Summary: Risk Taking Mostly Pays Off Review: The title explains the problem in this risky film. Simply put, two women meet while waiting for their respective boyfriends who, they quickly ascertain, is one and the same, a New York actor. They lie in wait for him in his loft as he returns from a job in LA. First one, then both women proceed to impel him to reveal and explain his deception and insist on forcing him to identify truth and meaning. With the exception of one sexual scene in which both actors retain their clothing but which required 14 edits to get it down to an R rating, the action largely consists of changes in the wind of the dialogue, with segues often provided by telephone calls to and from unseen characters. So it goes for 90 minutes.For the most part, the characters command attention, making the 90 minutes pass without dragging. This essentially comes off like a staged play, not a flaw in itself necessarily but the filmmaker invested energy in the concept and characters, not in actual filming techniques that might better define this as a cinematic art work apart from the drama. The setting is a stunning loft that holds attention as much as the characters; it adds conceptual commentary and allows for some interesting blocking-but a stage play could have replicated it and made similar use. Robert Downey, Jr., gives a remarkable performance as the guy lost in his deceptions. Natasha Gregson Wagner completely owns her part and takes it to the core and back. The motivation of Heather Graham's character is not always clear though what her character does and says always propels quality changes in the action. The bottom line: this is a high concept film, smart and creative, but it belongs more to the art house crowd and never breaks free from "Indie" conventions.
Rating: Summary: NOTHING CAN SAVE THIS GARBAGE Review: This film was a complete waste of time. I might have been tipped off by the fact that I was the only person in the cinema in a large city. Two girls (Heather Graham and Natasha Gregson-Wagner) discover that they are dating the same man (Robert Downey, Jr.) and decide to confront him. Yes, many dialogues ensue, and Downey, Jr. is his entertaining self, but there is nothing else redeeming about this film. It goes on for too long and in the end turns out to be completely pointless.
Rating: Summary: DVD Rules! Review: Now I know almost every RDJ fan can probably recite the dialogue from this movie without batting an eyelash but hearing James Toback, Natasha Gregson Wagner, and RDJ talk off screen about the film as it is playing is an incredible experience. This is one of the best bonus features I've seen yet. In addition, the actual movie is in widescreen. If you already like this movie, you've got to see the DVD version for the commentary. If you haven't seen the movie yet, watch it first and then watch the bonus feature. This is not to be missed!
Rating: Summary: At least Robert Downey Jr was in it Review: I rented this movie solely because I love Robert Downey Jr. Right away I was irritated with the other two girls (Heather Graham and someone else I've never seen before). Their performance was terrible, some of the worst acting I've seen. Luckily I didn't have to see too much of just the two of them (or else I would have turned it off), and RDJr came in. A hugely talented actor, RDJr saved this movie! I feel sorry for RDJr because of what he had to work with. An endless conversation with these two terrible actresses and a horrible ending? How does he pull that off? I don't know, but somehow he does. Not many other actors could have. 5 stars for RDJr, but the movie only gets 2.
Rating: Summary: A Real Winner! Review: The first time I watched "Two Girls and Guy", I had no idea what to expect. What I got was a movie that was fast paced, riveting and hilarious. RDJ is excellent as the self-absorbed womanizer who is caught having an affair with two different women at the same time. Heather Graham and Natasha Gregson-Wagner play the two girlfriends to perfection. What amazed me about this movie was RDJ's ability to take what appeared to be a one-dimensional character who you want to hate for being such a jerk, and turn him into a three dimensional character who you feel sympathy for, like it or not. My only complaint is that the movie is way too short at approximately 90 minutes. See this one!
