There seems to be quite a few comments on how bad this movie is.I can see how it won't appeal to a younger (people younger than 30's) audience who may feel that the "occasional" straying from your girl/guy is okay and understandable, so what's the big deal?I agree that the movie is slow and nothing much (or meaningful) happens until the "famous" ending. After watching it for about half an hour, I turned my attention to other things (computer, etc.) and didn't get back to the movie until at the ending. I picked it up again where Reno leaves for his out-of-town trip, and watched through to the end. I must say the ending disturbed me a lot - that is it made me really really sad. Reno and Holly had a potentially very good relationship, and obviously loved each other a lot (This shows even at the end when Holly was watching Reno being interviewed on TV in a bar - oh she was so sad) This ending raises a deeply philosophical question: Can one partner trust another after such an act? Even though I don't have a partner, I wondered after watching the movie how I would react if I were in Reno's shoes! Can one give up a potentially beautiful yet perhaps unlikely to be long-lasting relationship (one who strays once likely may stray again)? This movie failed because the producer did not know what audience he/she wants to, and therefore, target. It is - as some reviewers have said - not a comedy (particularly the ending). It does however - also as some reviewers said - have some funny moments. It has no nudity to attract male audiences, at least what I'd call nudity anyway. And certainly no "actions" - but then it is not intended to be an action movie.I only gave it a 7 because of the "deep" ending - as much as it left a big lump in my throat for a long time....

Not a lot of production value. The its full of "cute" humor. It never makes you laugh out loud, their best joke is a failed attempt at the traditional potty humor with a mild twist. The "bag design" dream is a nice angle. Lots of women's breasts. The characters were all very believable (but not the breasts). The situations were very believable, all too familiar for some. You might be reminded of people in your life from characters in the movie. If you like date movies, it's in the better half. Not a lot of talk about feelings, just images of repetitive familiar situations for young couples. It really all depends on how you like the ending. It's almost a date movie for guys.

For anyone who has ever had or seen troubles with those pesky critters we call roommates, this movie is a must see. The movie was co-written and directed by Oliver Robins (of POLTERGEIST fame), photographed by David Klein (CLERKS, MALL RATS, CHASING AMY), and has a cast that includes such teen movie & teen TV veterans as A.J. Buckley (DISTURBING BEHAVIOR, THE IN CROWD), Holly Fields (WISHMASTER 2), Jennifer Lyons (CAN'T HARDLY WAIT), David Wheir (URBANIA), Lisa Brenner (THE PATRIOT with Heath Ledger), Dana Barron (BEVERLY HILLS 90210), and many more.If you've ever wanted to know what happens when your roommates do when they're alone with your significant other, check this movie out.
