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
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"...
If you’re looking for a biting satire and smart commentary on male sexual misadventure, steer away from this movie.
