Rating: Summary: Decent movie bad plot Review: I think this movie went about a discussing a serious topic the wrong way. If the movie had been a comedy it could have been good or if had been a drama than it also could have been good. The only problem is that when you try to take a serious topic and make the plot around it a comedy than, well you're not funny or dramatic you're just boring. I liked parts of the comedy and parts of the drama but when put together the whole plot doesn't work. end rating 2 1/2 stars.
Rating: Summary: Worth the time Review: I wouldn't say this film was a waste of time at all. I rented it and watched it twice. Loved it both times. I think its good that there is some great humor mixed througout the movie. Maybe you have to be younger to get most of it, though? I'm 24 and connected with where they were going with it.
Rating: Summary: Wait...huh? What? Review: I'm totally biased because I just adore Sean Patrick Flanery, but that said I simply cannot figure out what this movie was meant to do. Is it hip, fresh, and fun? or is it massively depressing and meant to make twentysomethings cringe at themselves and their lifestyles?I've spent (way too much) time thinking about it, and I'm just now figuring out some parts of the movie. For instance: the very last scene in the movie, I totally didn't understand until I realized that it was another victim of the bizarre flashback/flashforward/flashsideways direction. As for the whole date rape part of the movie...I'm going to have to stop caring about it and trying to take sides. In both sides of the story--the he said, the she said parts--you can see where something could be misconstrued or how one moderate-sized mistake could snowball so quickly into a massive mistake. Positive sides? Well, Ron Livingston was a riot playing a totally irritating guy who thinks nothing of sleeping in the gutter for a few hours, literally. He was a little cartoonish at times, but in the end, I think the movie needed his outlandish character. Otherwise it would've turned into an R-rated Lifetime movie. Final answer? If you like Ron Livingston, Sean Patrick Flanery, Amanda Peet, Brad Rowe, or Tara Reid, you could possibly enjoy parts of this movie. If you're looking for a movie about twentysomethings in the 90s, please look elsewhere! If this defines my generation, I'd like to turn in my Gen X membership card!
Rating: Summary: Too Many Shots Review: In a way I found "Body Shots" to be a little insulting. The way that the male and female characters are written it's like they're a disgrace to mankind. All they talk about throughout the film is sex. I mean it has your typical male (which by the way, not all men are like this): wanting it, fantasizng about it, then getting it, and then bragging to your friends. From all that sex talk, which gets really annoying, you have a rape issue going on. Overall, "Body Shots" is really uneven and way too much for one to watch.
Rating: Summary: Tries to be clever, but fails Review: In the ads, this movie was supposed to define a generation, in much the same way that The Graduate did in the 70s, and The Breakfast Club did in the 80s. What a blatant attempt to compare this piece of trash to two worthwhile films. I watched this movie, expecting it to at least be interesting, but it's only embarrassing. The actors speak to the screen in various parts (a la High Fidelity), but it doesn't work here, discussing sex, relationships, etc, amid slow motion camera moves that are nothing but corny. There could have been good dialogue, but there wasn't. Every line was completely flat, by no fault of the actors (except for Tara Reid, who is absolutely horrible in playing the role of the hysterical, freaked out victim). It's quite obvious that the filmakers were trying to be clever with this one, but it just doesn't work. All this movie is about is a bunch of sex crazed, drunk people in their mid twenties who have nothing better to do. If this is supposed to define my generation, then I'm quite embarrassed to be a part of it.
Rating: Summary: Great depiction of bar scene life Review: Let me start by saying that I am kinda disappointed that this movie is not available to buy(dvd or vhs). However other then that I have no complaints about this movie, in fact I've seen quite a few movies and this ranks as one of my favorites. If anyone reading this review is 20-30 years old and is in the "bar scene" then this movie will completely relate to your life. Don't follow the lame-o's reviews check this movie out.
Rating: Summary: Body Shots was Amazing Review: Like in the movie Purgatory, Brad Rowe is in another fantastic movie - Body Shots! He always brings a seductive, amazing way of portraying the charachters he plays. Nobody could have played a hard charachter like Shawn to life the way that he did. The movie represents life as we know it in our 20's very accurately and I found Brad to be a great actor in Body Shots! He's not too bad looking either!
Rating: Summary: rather not Review: Some of my favorite actors, but the material or story [stunk].
Rating: Summary: body shots Review: tara reid is so hott in this dvd but i think its a boring plot
Rating: Summary: Dream come true Review: The plot? Where? Tara Reid nude? Worth every penny! I recommend for that scene alone!
