In this independent comedy, three buddies who have been sharing their thoughts on love and sex suddenly find that that's not all they're sharing. Stylish stockbroker Brad (Brian Van Holt), bohemian hipster Zeke (Zorie Barber), and socially inept Jonathan (Jonathan Abrahams) get together with their married friend Eric (Judah Domke) every Sunday at the same coffee shop to discuss whatever is on their minds -- which usually turns out to be women. While most weeks the conversation quickly turns to a
crude exchange of views on "the art of seduction," one Sunday Brad, Zeke, and Jonathan all have the same remarkable bit of news for Eric: They've fallen in love. After comparing notes, however, they realize that they are all in love with the same woman, Mia (Amanda Peet). Whipped was the feature debut for writer and director Peter M. Cohen. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
A caustic, raunchy, often hilarious examination of how men use women, and how easy it is for a determined female to do the same to a passel of self-centered males.
After just 30 minutes of "Whipped," you either want to hose down the screen with Lysol or dip yourself in bleach. It's that offensive, that rotten, and it easily stands as the worst film in years.
Amazingly, humor in the movies has become so much cruder and ruder in the past two years that "Whipped" already seems about as scandalous as "Getting Gertie's Garter"...
I find something endearing about this profane, broad, low-brow and vaguely sexist movie. Maybe I just really love the fact that it's almost the antithesis of Sex and The City. Both take place in New York, both feature four friends who ike to sit in retaurants together and talk about sex. It's just that there is almost
no romance in this, except possibly between the friends themselves. This movie is not for everyone - almost no one, I imagine - but I liked it.
