Goofs

When Evan goes to dry the girl's clothes he puts them in, and eventually take them out of, the washer and not the dryer. All front-loading washers in the US (with the exception of Electrolux, which can open either way but this one is not) open to the left. While dryer doors can be altered to open toward either direction they do not have, nor need, the water retaining gasket that we see as Evan take the clothes out.

User Reviews

Solid

I read bad reviews, but finally gave it a watch and this movie stands on its own so well! I really don't understand the hate. The characters, style, hard bodies and sequences are so great. The actor and actresses did such a good job with their performance and bodies, it never feels forced. The plot is that special but that is kinda of the thing with these types of movies and in the end it really surprised and comes together in a great way. Very evocative women.
