There is potential here, and it shines through occasionally, but unfortunately not consistently.Despite the fact that the ultimate effect is cute (isn't that a terrible word to describe a film?!) and charming, I found myself scratching my head once or twice about the basic premise of this sometimes enchanting little ditty. I guess Janger is trying to warn us that no fantasy lives up to the reality. OK...an age-old piece of wisdom...no arguments here, BUT he never REALLY lets his two lead characters experience their fantasies. They just seem to get lost and frustrated on the road leading up to it.Anthony (Janger's character) wants to see his beloved fiancée, Amy (played by a very winning Jennifer Esposito), have sex Just One Time with another woman before they get married and HAVE to put their fantasies to bed. That's where the first question arises: why do married couples have to stop having fantasies? OK, small detail, let's move on...Amy does not want to grant her beloved Anthony his somewhat cliché, pubescent, masturbatory fantasy, and tries to get around the problem by one-upping him: if he has sex with a man for her, she'll give herself to a woman for him. Now pride and egos start getting in the way of anyone calling the nonsense off. Enter Guillermo Diaz: your excuse for a romantic comedy's gay sidekick. Not to say that Mr. Diaz plays his role poorly; he's actually very winning! That said, his role is no more than a convenient plot devise: the sweet, non-threatening, virginal gay neighbor, who enters on cue, but never causes too much discomfort, either for Anthony or the viewer. Same goes for the conveniently lesbian neighbor played by Joelle Carter, who is planted there to give Amy her brush with homosexuality.Whereas Amy at least gets a lesbian kiss of free will out of it all, before she throws up her hands and screams, "bring on the bands and ring the wedding bells", Anthony stays annoyingly heterosexual. Oh, he does have a kiss, but it's aggressive and full of anger and frustration. When he wakes up the next morning next to his token gay friend, he's horrified at the idea that something might have transpired. Thank God, his bedmate is able to clear that fright up within 30 seconds!Actually, a rather insulting bit of tripe, but if even the more emotionally self-assured and mature homosexuals were generous enough to forgive heterosexual men their occasional lapses of taste and decorum for the sake of defending their obviously fragile manhood, then everyone might actually enjoy the 94 minutes that this film has to offer.

i watched this film and i must say although it wasn't the best comedy i have seen it is very funny, and silly, and enjoyable. a good date movie. Guillermo Díaz is awesome as the young & cute boy next door, and is as funny as ever. rent this one.

Just saw this at the SF Gay and Lesbian Film festival. Though this is in fact not a gay and lesbian movie, the subplot itself is just so gay and so funny... it all started when the guy asked his to be wife in ten days if she could fulfill a life long fantasy for him... he wants her to make out with a girl so that he could watch... and then she turned the tables on him by asking the same of him... ie he is to make out with a guy just for her... and all this for JUST ONE TIME...The movies develops from there... about the confusion and stuff... the director, who wrote the screenplay and play the main lead is impressive and the young kid, Guillermo Díaz, an Antonio Banderas look alike is also very very good.Go watched it when it is released.... a real fun movie.

This is the best movie I saw during the first weekend of the Seattle International Film Festival. Funny, well written and even a little thought provoking. See this! You may have a chance to see this at a film festival or when it opens (If I remember Lane Janger's comments during the Q&A after the film) in select cities in late summer, 2000.
