Did I mention that Vince Vaughn is smokin' hot?, 31 August 2002
Author: Nicki (gonicki@yahoo.com) from Long Beach, CA

Picked this one up at the video store last night (hey - a girl's gotta spend a Friday night somehow...) and was pleasantly surprised. I don't think this one ever made it to the big show, but it was pretty good. Kind of reminded me of The Last Seduction. You'll have a good time trying to figure out who's scamming who and how. It's also a must-see if you're a V.V. fan. He's so damn hot in this movie it'll just about make you cry. A couple of scenes had me working the Rewind button so much I was glad to be watching it by myself.
