Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Sam has a problem with his roommates: they are disgusting, and don't seem to share his views on responsibility, privacy, and basic hygiene. Such is his discomfort with his living arrangements that he agrees to share the occupancy of another flat: he gets two nights a week, the owner (a sleazy frat-boy yuppie named Brian, soon to be married) and Ellen (a would-be painter seeking relief from her boring marriage) each get their separate nights in the flat. Things go extremely well until Sam and Brian swap nights without telling Ellen, who attributes the "nice" things that happen around the place to the slob Brian, while berating the responsible Sam for his hedonistic lifestyle.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | On some overseas movie posters (including the UK cinema and VHS cover) Matthew Broderick's beard was photo-shopped off. A possible reason was that it being a fairly minor release, distributors wanted to sell the film on Broderick's more familiar look. See more » |
