If you are absolutely in love with Robert Downey Jr., this little slice of life will probably be your cup of tea. Don't expect a great story nor should you expect a great script but Downey does make it interesting in spots. It should have been a stage production. For the most part, takes place totally in a small apartment. Two girls wind up there thinking they are going to meet their one and only love interest only to find Downey has cheated on both of them. Instead of doing the right thing and leaving, they stick around and confront him. Somehow, in very short order,they all seem to make up quickly and surprisingly even have sex. Give me a break folks. I guess the message here was that you can be happy with two partners instead of one but it left me not caring about any of the characters. I'm as liberal as the next guy about the subject of sex but this was not even remotely realistic.

It's a pleasure watching Robert Downey Jr. but it doesn't save this film.
