Four guys hang out, kid one another, get into scuffles and flash their gonadal searchlight for available women. Yikes, haven't there been enough variations on the multiple-buddy movie? Actually, no. Full Review |

3/4 |
Director-cinematographer Doug Liman gets points for breathing a bit of life into an already tired indie sub genre. Full Review |

|
4/5 |
One of the sharpest male-oriented comedies of the 1990s. Full Review |

A winningly confident snapshot of the nightlives of a bunch of young showbiz wannabes in a very upto-the-minute Hollywood. Full Review |

|
3/4 |
The arc is nothing new, but the writing and pacing make it fresh and energetic, at least enough for it to have became a cult classic. Full Review |

 3/5 |

Ninety minutes spent learning how not to pick up girls. This is what the movies were made for, isn't it? Full Review |

4.5/5 |
One of those very rare movies where you really come out a changed, happier person -- at least for awhile. Hey, maybe I'm money, and I don't even know it! Full Review |
