The rating of 5 I gave this was because of Estella Warren and her lipstick. That was the highlight, sadly there was precious little of her in it, though I am grateful for the swimsuit scene.
The plot if you can call it that is very standard damaged man baby with loads of talent acts like an entitled brat (think Lewis Hamilton w/o the shameless race baiting) who cannot act right. He rebuffs all attempts to help him grow up. Enter hot girl, she of course is his rivals ex, he flips for her and there is an utterly pointless love triangle. I must stop here and say, despite it being pointless, this s by far the best part of the movie, and the stunning performance of Estella Warrens lipstick was Oscar worthy. Til Schweiger is the other part of the love triangle and I pretty wooden, but at least he is not OTT like the horrible Gina Gershon who in addition to avoiding red lipstick does her usual overacting and then there is Burt Reynolds who is of course the obligatory baddie and he is awful as a character and actor, Sly does a decent job as sly.
Not a good movie ,
