Consensus: The sex jokes in Whipped are tiresomely vulgar and unfunny. Critics also condemn the movie as cynical and mean-spirited, with no likable characters.

Studly Wall Streeter Brad (Brian Van Holt), artsy downtowner Zeke (Zorie Barber), and effeminate, compulsively self-pleasuring Jonathan (Jonathan Abrams) are three New York friends who meet once a week at their favorite Gotham diner to frankly discuss their most recent sexual conquests. Things get a bit stressful for the three college pals--all in their twenties--when, after confessing to each other that they have each met the woman who can stop them from womanizing, they discover that they have all been seduced by the same woman. She is Mia (Amanda Peet), a formidable beauty who can be as sexually casual as any man she meets. The three men attempt to work out a solution for their problem. Meanwhile, the pathetic fourth member of their gang, married and overweight Eric (Judah Domke), becomes their romantic advisor. Obviously influenced by the vulgar-chic style of movies that began with THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY, Cohen's tale spares no one and leaves no bodily secretion unrevealed as it takes a humorous look at dating in the big city and the casualties that are often its result. Using New York locations to good effect, director Cohen achieves a look that is as raw as the humor on display. [More]

Reviews for Whipped
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.
There is no character development; these guys are all adolescent libido and nothing else. Cohen's writing never delivers anything resembling real human interaction or connection.
Some of the unpleasant moments are funny, some not, but it isn't realistic enough to have an impact and not stylish enough to be seductive even at its most amusing.
Cohen has written and directed a 'sex comedy' that's so coarse and moronic you actually feel embarrassed for the technicians who were forced work on it.
[Cohen's] real cynicism could be his view that no audience is intelligent enough to fathom a film of any appreciable subtlety.
This is an adolescents' view of the grown-up world, created as if by someone who loves to talk about sex, but doesn't quite understand how it actually works.
