Yet another verbose film about a quartet of white males going through rough transition to adulthood. Steve Miller's song, The Joker, about the pompatus of love serves as the title for an uninspired tale.

This movie COULD have been good. It starts out annoying, becomes entertaining, then interesting, then ... dull... finallly, somewhat smart, and then fulllllly disappointing. It's like Sex and the City with dudes. But it's not that good. STILL a good rental... the relationship between Jon Cryer and Kristen Wilson
