Note: This review may reveal some plot points of the film

If you have a sadistic affinity for really bad movies then Body Shots is definitely the movie for you. This film attempts to be a raunchier Swingers for sex and the club scene and fails miserably at doing so.

As a funny take on the single life the movie might have put up a fighting chance but in repeatedly trying to be taken seriously the movie falls flat on its face. The entire package is worse than most adult movies I've seen and many instances I found my self wondering if that was what I was actually watching.

The basic premise (seriously) is as follows: Characters hang out together, go clubbing and have sex.The characters make comments in ramblingly nonsensical summations to the audience throughout the film in an attempt to dispel their ridiculously oversexed take on the meaning of life and then suddenly and without reason we become trapped in an after school special on date rape.

A cast including such up and comers as Tara Reid (American Pie) and Ron Brewington (Swingers and Office Space) could have provided redemption and though the acting was stellar throughout it was unbelievably wasted as no actor no matter how talented could have saved this story.

There is no comparison between Swingers or Go and Body Shots. The former represents film-making at it's best while the latter film-making at it's absolute worst.

Overall Rating: F (a generous offer)
