Amanda Peet, who stole "The Whole Nine Yards" from an unbothered Bruce Willis, gets a lead role all to herself and won't let go. She plays Mia, a pleasure-hunting New Yorker, who causes three men-best friends, until she arrives on the scene-to fall in love with her simultaneously. Since the three essentially vie with one another to become the most objectionable, it is hard to work out what joy Mia finds in their company, apart from the satisfaction of watching the male ego, in conjunction with other organs, shrivel and shy away. The movie is a début for the writer and director Peter M. Cohen, and he's desperate to cram in as much as possible; both camera and soundtrack collude with an air of leering panic, and there's never a dull moment, although there's never an interesting one either. The moral is that women have their own strong sexual agenda; the joke is that the movie quaintly presents this as breaking news.
