All I can say is that if you have any expectations for this oddball film then you may be disappointed. I thought that the performances by Grenier, Gellar, and Adams were very good and keep the mismatched story together. Every character seems to be rather offbeat and avoid all stereotypes. This is something I found refreshing, the director didn't try too hard to make the characters weird or quirky, but did just enough for you to be a little surprised and in some cases disturbed. Never thought FBI agents were such avid swingers or whatever those scenes are about. There is for sure some odd editing styles that don't really add to the movie in my opinion, but it doesn't hurt too much. Overall it is an enjoyable film and is worth it for the performances and unpredictability. Watch this if your bored and can't find anything to watch, don't have too many expectations. That's not an insult to anyone involved.

There is nothing at all to like about this movie. Joey Lauren Adams shows that it is not just her voice that is like nails on a chalkboard. While Adrian Grenier shows off the horrible acting that became so famous on Entourage. All the while the director was confusing annoying with interesting. I can't imagine too many people sat through the acid trip without getting fed up and walking out. It was annoying for the sake of being annoying. All with no payoff to redeem it. I just can't imagine what anyone was thinking making a movie with such a prolonged act that was literally painful to listen to. Which would have been bad enough if the ENTIRE movie wasn't also painful to listen to. IT was as if the audio was recorded in a toy microphone with harsh audio levels. I would literally prefer to sit through 2 hours of nails on a chalkboard that this movie.

I'd give it a zero if I could. Thank goodness I didn't rent this (saw it on TV). The bloatedly egotistical writer/director, who's way too in love with his Harvard degree, wasted a decent idea by creating one-dimensional characters and then casting with second-rate actors -- none of whom is a complex-enough/bright-enough person or skilled-enough actor to convince viewers that they're Harvard students or instructors -- who turned in one-dimensional performances. I can only imagine that he was jumping on the youth bandwagon and thus cast some of the names of the moment, but he would have done better had he gone with unknowns who are actually gifted. Utter waste of time; do not watch this.

The movie has an unintentionally ridiculous plot involving tri-sexual FBI agents, mobsters, a hot blonde philosophy professor, high stakes gambling, a natural disaster, and a cameo appearance by Al Franken. Interspersed with these things are characters tripping on drugs or philosophizing as college freshmen do, at great length.Leading man Adrian Grenier has gotten handsomer since he made this movie; he grew into his looks. He did a good job acting, especially considering how young he appears to be here and the oddness of the material.I was expecting the movie to be more offensive because the director has a reputation for doing unspeakable things to females in life, and given his other movies. This movie just appears to be a drug-fueled, delusional, freshman fantasy, but not as enjoyable as that sounds.The fact that this director was given several movies to direct after this, each more offensive than the next, is disturbing.Notes for the sensitive: The movie opens with footage from a sex scene and there are several more throughout. Plenty of drug usage too. Some people have commented on the oddness of the colors in the movie but I just saw it on Showtime and found those to be normal, except for the brown river water in Boston. Maybe the colors were corrected or maybe there are colors only some people can see, like dog whistles.
