Temchen and Gertz are former roommates reunited at a funeral, where their unique friendship is rekindled after ten years. Right from the start, Temchen life starts to fall apart as soon as she lets Gertz back into her life and her other friends almost seem to take a false sense of pride in forcing Temchen into decisions she refuses to make...
The chair is an interesting part of this dark, sometimes depressing, film. No matter what happens throughout the film, it always seems to return to the chair. The performance by Gertz is good! I never pictured her in that kind of role, but she did a pretty good job in pulling it off! Her straight-forward character is one of those "take no guff from anyone" is the sort of character that made this the film it is. Her anger is real when it shows and her conversations with her co-stars are what kept me involved, because of her unpredictable nature!

1st watched 9/8/2001 - 3 out of 10(Dir-Shawn Schepps): Violent, in-your-face other lifestyle(if it's ok for you, then it's ok) advertisement that falls flat as a movie because of the quick changes of character that occur in the Jamie Gertz character. She seems like she isn't quite sure how to act this part and changes her approach too often . At the beginning she's an out-of-control drunk, then she's a manipulating sex object, then she's a friend who takes a licking but keeps on ticking. It is very obvious from the beginning that many of the performers will be portrayed as gay, so it's no surprise when Alie and Kat hit it off as lesbians on occasion. This is a movie that doesn't have the guts to go the direction it wants to go in my opinion. The box cover art makes us think this is a male-female perverted sex movie, but it turns out to be movie with sex but with both female's doing it together as well as the male-female thing. But it's not a sex movie. What kind of movie is it and what is it about? Well, the best I can tell, it's about life and how it stinks and how feeling good is what's important. I'm sorry but I'm not sold and to tell you the truth that by the end of the movie the character's aren't sold either.
Viewed 10/2003 (VCR) I only comment on the ones that I love or hate. This one I loved. Jami Gertz plays an in-your-face REAL chick (who ain't so real after all) and Sibyl Temchen plays the alter-ego. The acting is superbly real filled with vigor and pathos (ie. when Allison comes into her bedroom and finds Sebastian there. You can almost see the lines of energy between the two (nope, I wasn't high); as he coaxes her towards the bed).
Totally worth viewing for laughs and deeper meanings of life.

While it's good to see Jami Gertz in her first lead role in nearly 10 years (since 1992's JERSEY GIRL), her character here is so unappealing. The movie contains a ton of profanity and graphic language right from the very beginning. By far, Jami's most foul mouthed film.
