[edit] Plot Summary

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The story involves an unusual love triangle: A straight gigolo (Baldwin), his lesbian best friend (Lynch), and her former lover, an attractive bisexual woman (Fenn).

Lynch is desperate to win Fenn back and Baldwin volunteers to to break Fenn's heart to convince her that heterosexual relationships are inferior to lesbian. The hope is that the disaster will cause her to return to Lynch. Neither counts on Baldwin having feelings for Fenn nor expects her to discover the trick.

[edit] Summary of Reviews

The film is written, directed, and performed as a conventional romantic comedy and succeeds at that level. It does contain some unnecessary and jarring violent scenes apparently inserted for plot development. The relationship between Baldwin and Lynch is so tight -- they live together and share the same bed -- that audiences wondered why Lynch's character didn't come out and admit that she was bisexual as well, which would have made for a more satisfying ending for the film.
