How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:23

Fresh:3

Rotten:20

Average Rating:3/10

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.

Runtime: 85 mins

Genre: Comedies

Box Office: $2,729,625

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]

A slick Hollywood movie that, sexual politics aside, primarily exists to entertain, which it does.

Only masochists will enjoy Whipped, a cynical sex comedy that manages to be infantile and jaded at the same time.

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.

Its soul is ugly and what little brains it has are shrink-wrapped in bile.

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.

[Peet's] all but wasted in a movie that professes truth but is really about cheap laughs drawn from ugly behavior.

Whipped is a decent idea that never goes deep enough for genuine satisfaction.

The movie shifts so quickly into cliché, and then morphs into a poorly conceived and bleakly misanthropic morality tale.

Leaves you with the feeling of having at last escaped a numbing experience, trapped in the company of people too pathetic to be amusing.

The best way to say this is succinctly and with a noble degree of restraint: Whipped is cinematic suicide, if not for actor, then certainly for audience.

Ugly. And unpleasant. And clueless on a grand scale.

The trouble with Whipped isn't that its characters are dirty mouthed horndog jerks -- it's that they're phony dirty mouthed horndog jerks.

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] insights are as worthless as a lecher's promise and the issues he raises as stale as a couch crumb.
