Two Girls and a Guy was a film produced in 1997 by Edward R. Pressman and Chris Hanley. The director was James Toback, who also wrote the screenplay.

[edit] Plot

The film opens with Lou (Natasha Gregson Wagner) and Carla Bennett (Heather Graham) waiting in front of a New York building where their boyfriends live. In conversing, they find out Blake Allen (Robert Downey Jr.) is their duplicitous boyfriend. In the first minutes of the film, we discover that he turns out to be dating both of them on the side. The women wait for Blake inside his loft and confront him together. The remainder of the film takes place inside the loft, where Blake tries to talk his way out of trouble and the characters' relationships take unexpected turns.

[edit] Trivia

The entire film was shot in a large New York loft. There are several thousand square feet of hardwood floor, high ceilings, ceiling fans, columns, and ten-foot-tall windows. There is a grand piano, a large-format camera, and a fireplace.

Some of the dialog and acoustics are not as seamless as they are in most feature films. It appears some of the dialog is location audio and some is looping, each having slightly different qualities. The dialog is sometimes mismatched. For example, at about 48 minutes into the film, Carla pulls Blake backward up some stairs. Carla's mouth is not moving but we hear dialog.
