Mildly entertaining. Is never as erotic as it thinks it is.

Toback has somehow managed to prolong and expand this sketchy egg-on-your-face situation with a series of unexpected ironies and power role reversals that are not without wit, humor and intelligence.

Downey's last scene knocks the wind out of you: You may feel you need a moment or two before you can get up out of your seat.

You gotta admire a director who can come up with a way to hang out in such luxurious digs for two weeks, acting out sexual situations with three of the dishiest young actors in the business.

Robert Downey Jr. is an extraordinarily gifted actor and, despite a contrived storyline and shaky dialogue, Two Girls and a Guy is a striking film, thanks primarily to his inspired performance.

Without Downey, this thing wouldn't have worked.

As a serio-comedy, it only half succeeds. The laughs are well earned, but the attempts at serious romantic analysis fall short of poignancy.

The film provides a zany and somewhat twisted look at three New York singletons and their quest for love

Its particular appeal is in watching Downey, a master, at work, particularly when he seems to be exorcising his own demons, and in appreciating the facial expressions on its three characters who are filmed by Barry Markowitz in bold closeup.

Robert Downey Jr.'s Blake Allen is enough of a raging dynamo to find the dark humor and desperate romanticism at the heart of Mr. Toback's ego trip of a premise, and to make Blake sympathetic too.

The actors are always fun to watch, and that's what saves this movie from being utter crap.

For the actors -- and lovers of fine acting -- it makes the movie a feast.
