I'll be blunt and to the point. This film is not good at all. The film buff part of me hated the acting, script, story, direction and almost all of the editing. Amanda Peet has proven that she can act, as she was a high point of 'The Whole Nine Yards'. So she should have avoided this movie with a ten foot pole. However, the infantile part of me found this film to be very funny. If you can forget about how underpar the production quality is, and if you find smut jokes funny, then you should be all right. And for those of you who can't get off your pedestal, thats your choice. My inner child hasen't died, and I laughed a fair bit. Even then, only a 3 out of ten, because as a movie, it really does stink.

This movie tells the dating stories of male friends in New York. They happen to go out with the same girl, raising the tension between them. Even if it's a comedy rather than a drama, the movie drags too much. The directing is not up to the task: the four adventures are rather cut than blend together. Except the shy and expert wankker, the characters aren't interesting but highly unbelievable. Amanda is the only good thing here because she seems natural and brings her usual smile and kindness. The fan of the big apple would be happy too because there's a lot of exterior stuff. There are funny moments (the dreams, the fights) but it was not enough to convince me, all the more that i watched the American version without subtitles and i couldn't understand the dialogs.

Four best friends young male chauvinist pigs (with the emphasis on pigs) meet weekly at a NYC diner to recount their dating sexploits in this misanthropic and visceral comedy. Peet is the common denominator who dates the three bachelors in the group which leads to conflict and the inevitable "whipping". Although the film's premise has potential and there are some funny moments to be had, overall the flick doesn't work especially in the end where the girls are made to appear no better than the guys which runs contrary to the crux of the story. One of those one-man band flix with a dozen producers, "Whipped" is likely to be enjoyed only by the kind of young males who think "The Man Show" is Emmy material.

It just seems bizarre that someone read this script, and thought, "This is funny! I mean, it's so hilarious it just has to be made!" Who was this person? Is he or she the person really responsible for this? Are they the one's who owe me for my time, more so than the director/writer?

This film stinks in most every way possible. There's no one shred of good dialogue, and not one likable character. And the story...

I prefer the 2nd worst movie ever, Hulk Hogan's "No Hold's Barred" to this by quite a considerable degree. It seems almost Shakespearen in comparison.

The ending is padded out with several minutes of outtakes, and it's still under 80 minutes. The outtakes include cast members laughing at the 'hilarious' mistakes they've made, and things that went wrong on the set of this 'comedy.' Glad to see someone laughing in someway, with some connection to this 'film.'

Nothing in this film is funny. Nothing. It just goes on, and on. It's truly that lame. I love films that are so bad they're good. This is so bad it's...something, but I don't know what, and hopefully will never find out.

Amanda Peet doesn't suck outright, and is in fact the only half good thing about this wannabe film. But, that really means little.

Avoid at all costs.

Imagine taking Kevin Smith's brilliant tribute to bizarre relationships, stripping it of all interesting characters, funny situations, or good dialogue, then maybe you'll come close to the stupid antics of "Whipped." The two movies do not share a plot, fortunately, but share a theme. That theme is the screwed up things people do when they're in love (or lust). All four of the main characters in the movie are boring, unlikeable idiots. The girl, played by Amanda Peet, might be interesting. We don't know. The film makers never bother to give her a personality besides the ones she displays when she's with whoever she's with in that scene. The jokes in the movie just don't work. Not because they're vulgar, but because they never seem spontaneous. Humor is subjective, though. Maybe you'll find it funny...but I sure didn't. (Frame of reference: recent movies I found funny were "There's Something About Mary," "Austin Powers," "South Park," and "Election." "Whipped" is no where NEAR as funny as those movies.) Maybe I would have liked this movie more if I knew how it was going to end (call it "Fight Club" Syndrome), since I didn't think it would make sense for this girl to like all three of these jerks until I saw the last five minutes. However, that would not have changed the fact that I had to sit through 75 minutes of their childish antics to get there. Ultimately, "Whipped" is just an excuse for be crude for the sake of being crude. There is a point to this movie, but that point wasn't worth 80 minutes of very unfunny toilet humor.

Bad acting. Bad writing. This was a poorly written film. It's too bad because it had some potential. It's not even close to American Pie or Something about Mary as previous comments might have you believe. Rent it at dollar night from you local video store if you're kind of bored.

A poorly written script with no likeable characters. As for it being a comedy, I forgot to laugh. It's about 2 conceited friends who scam to get women in too bed with them (no sex scenes) and another friend(who is semi-discustingly weird)who sometimes also scams but mainly is considered as being the guy who masterbates. The 3 friends separately meet and fall for the same woman (Amanda Peet). Somehow this is done without really any romance. The 3 guys stop being friends as they separately dated her. She scammed them out of their friendship because they scammed women. -- A bad movie

Ok class, repeat after me, thou shalt never see this movie again. The award this movie will ever so justly take home is the distinction of being the worst movie of the summer, or possibly the year. This movie was a typical Hollywood money making device. First you find a star,(Amanda Peet) coming off the success of a very popular movie, "The Whole Nine Yards". Then, you release a movie she made almost a year earlier to take advantage of her name. I often wonder to myself why I go to see these movies I call "hidden disasters". Most of these movies that were in the can for so long should be kept in the can. I would love to comment on the plot for you, but this movie forgot to put one in the script. The one bright note I can take from this movie is that Amanda Peet is a good actress when she has the support of a good script and accompanying cast. (see Whole Nine Yards) On a scale of 1-10, I give this movie a solid 2 for the amount of quality minutes this film contained.

In New York, Brad (Brian Van Holt), Zeke (Zorie Barber) and Jonathan (Jonathan Abrahams) are wolves and best friends. They meet each other once a week together with their married friend Eric (Judah Domke) to tell theirs dates, affairs and sex experiences along the week. Brad and Zeke are greater lovers and Jonathan loves to self-masturbate. One day, each one of them discloses to the others that has met the perfect girlfriend. Indeed, they discover that their girlfriends is the same woman called Mia (Amanda Peet). Their dispute for Mia will affect their friendship.

"Whipped" is a feminist view of "American Pie" and the lead male characters seem to be the teenagers of "American Pie" that are now grown up men. The vulgar and scatological jokes of this low comedy and the male chauvinism of the group of male friends seem to be inspired in the American Pie´s style. However, there are many funny moments if the viewer shutdown his or her brain and will be highly entertaining for the fans of movies like "American Pie". A funny surprising end will conclude the plot. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Elas Só Pensm Naquilo!" ("They Just Think About That!")

'Whipped' is a bad, uninspired movie created by a non-artist. The story is about three obnoxious, ugly (except for Brian Van Holt), annoying yuppies, who see women as trophies. Then they meet Amanda Peet and they start having this parallel relationship. What a genius idea!

The comment you see on the main page here at Imdb, was probably written by the director, who is an illiterate, shallow, pathetic excuse for an artist. The script contains such explicit material, that makes you feel uncomfortable, even if you watch the movie by yourself.

Some people should provide proof for their art skills, before they start shooting movies. And don't get me wrong, I loved 'Road Trip', Porky's and the Farreli movies, just because they had style, originality and substance.

This movie is almost as bad as 'Scary Movie' (and if it wasn't for Amanda Peet it probably would be).

1/100

This movie is great. I have no idea why this has only been rated 4.4. I always recommend this film. It isn't a masterpiece but it is definitely entertaining all the way through and made me laugh out loud more than once. Don't let the low rating fool you, it is absolutely worth the watch. It is reminiscent of a Kevin Smith film. The stories the guys tell are actually quite hilarious. There is a perspective of both men and women. Bravo I say, Bravo. Don't be shy watch the thing! Baby baby baby, what's it gonna be. Oh baby baby baby, is it him or is it me. Don't make me waste my time, Don't make me lose my mind baby. If i told you baby that i was in love with you. oh baby baby baby if we got married, would that be cool.

**** = A masterpiece to be recorded in the books and never forgotten

***1/2 = A classic in time; simply a must see

*** = A solid, worth-while, very entertaining piece

**1/2 = A good movie, but there are some uneven elements or noticeable flaws

** = May still be considered good in areas, but this work has either serious issues or is restrained by inevitable elements deemed inescapable (e.g., genre)

*1/2 = Mostly a heap of nothing sparked by mildly worthwhile moments

BOMB = Not of a viewable quality

• Whipped = **1/2

• Rated "R" (for sole strong sexual content with dialogue, and for language)

There is one thing to know before seeing this movie: the whole 90 minutes is *completely* sex-related. It follows four guys who sit around a diner table and talk about past sexual episodes. That said, it was very entertaining. Of coarse, this may not apply to women (although they will most likely enjoy the ending).

However, three of these men (except the married one) discover the same amazing woman... and they all continue to date her! Pete is hilarious and breathtaking in that fabulous role. Mind you, the **1/2 rating applies only to people who can let go of their values for an hour and a half and enjoy some trash.

Three men, and occasionally a married fourth, meet weekly to discuss their conquests of women, in filthy detail. One week, however, they are eager to talk about a dream woman that each has met. Trouble is, it is the same woman, turning the tables on these dastardly men. So what? It is just a matter of time before they all find out the truth, of course, but who cares about the outcome? Not me. This movie is a piece of absolute horror in the realm of recent movies. It is supremely filthy and degrading for women, for men, for anyone who comes near it. Do yourself a favor and never watch even a minute of this disaster. It is pure poison and should be avoided at all costs. (And I did not even finish it....I don't need to)

"Whipped" is one of the most awful films of all time. It is a mean, hateful piece of garbage that had me forcing myself to stay in the theater more than any other movie of 2000, besides maybe "The Grinch." It is not, as people have called it, an insightful portrait of modern relationships. That would be a little film called "High Fidelity." Whereas that movie was honest and sympathetic, "Whipped" is hostile, cynical, misanthropic cinematic poison. Avoid this like so many plagues, unless you want to see how truly bad a "comedy" can get.

I see quite a few positive reviews on this board, trying to revive this film from its lackluster status and starting a cult following. I see the usual ranting--"I guess this movie is just not for the easily offended," "This movie is not Shakespeare," etc. Guess what? Neither was "Road Trip"! And I laughed my a** off during that movie! There's a way to make a crude, tasteless comedy and deliver laughs; and there's a way to...just make it crude and tasteless. "Whipped" tries to be "Swingers" without the wit or intelligence. It seems to have been written through the puerile eyes of a 14-year-old boy. For God's sake, the characters in this movie are supposed to be white-collar, upright citizens--and they talk like some of the idiots I knew in freshman year of high school! The dialogue is laced--more like drowned--with four-letter words. You would think that people of their status would have SOME degree of intelligence--and a more extensive vocabulary. Just watch a Whit Stillman film and you'll see the difference. Not to mention the fact that the dialogue sounds totally unrealistic and downright cartoonish. If you know any successful, white-collar businessmen who speak like the characters in this movie--please let me know and introduce me to them. Their annoying sexual banter is equivalent to that of standard locker room chat among teens just arriving at puberty. There is absolutely NO insight into relationships, sex or...anything!!! It's just a poor excuse to showcase an array of extremely--and don't take the word "extremely" for granted, because I mean it with all my heart--crude gags. These are gags with no substance. Gags that are meant more for groans than laughs. The scene at the end between Amanda Peet and her girlfriends was totally un-called for and totally unconvincing. There are some movies that involve interaction among females that were written by (straight) men and play out wonderfully. This scene involves a barrage of sexual metaphors and gestures. It involves the kind of dialogue you can never imagine leaving a woman's mouth. It was one of those noticeably-written-by-a-guy scenes. I wasn't believing it for a second.

"Whipped" is purely a sick male fantasy that's as flat as it is annoying. I got (very) few laughs out of this utterly forgettable comedy, and those were probably a result of desperation. When you're not laughing for a long period of time, you desperately look for humor in the most trivial things. So I wouldn't mark that down as a positive.

I just watched this movie last night, and I HAD to put a warning out for anybody else considering to see this film. In a word - don't. I seriously feel like this is something that a screenwriting student would have written in a Quentin Tarantino/Eddie Murphy phase, i.e. every other word was a curse word. I don't have a problem with profuse cursing, as in "Good Will Hunting", provided it helps to delve more into the characters. In this case it was just hollow banter with the attempt to draw an occassional *gasp* or laughter from the audience. The three lead characters are all their own unique stereotype, the wall street jerk, the coffee house jerk, and the "I'm-Not-Gay-Just-In-Touch-With-My-Feminine-Side" slightly-less-of-a-jerk. You just don't give a damn about any of them! They are all shallow, unredemable losers who you WANT to see lose. For those who dare, this film does have a couple funny moments, the very beginning, and the very end. The toilet/vibrator scene is funny in a sick kinda "Uh, yeah" way. Really though, I would only recommend this film to my worst of enemies.

"Whipped" is 82 minutes long. This review is 82 words long. Three unlikable New York Lotharios, ruthless "scammers," end up wooing the same woman, played by Amanda Peet, with disastrous results. That applies to the story and the film. Too sophomoric to be misogynistic, flaccid and ridiculous, "Whipped" mixes the philosophies of shock jock Tom Lykis with Penthouse letter fantasies. Though technically proficient it's dated, grating, poorly written, mean, and obvious. People don't act like this. People don't talk like this. Really.

This movie will be a hit with those that enjoy sophomoronic, mindless, explicit bragging about sexual exploits and F... in almost every sentence. Like a good plot? Like comedy? Like romance or other human values? Stay away from Whipped. It was so bad I left after about half an hour. I saw two kids slip in that looked to be about 10 -- very harmful -- this deserves an X.

I had never heard of this film until I came across it by accident when browsing IMDB. I saw it had gotten many awful reviews containing very colorful expletives on how much it stunk. Of course this meant I had to see it. I was pleasantly surprised as Whipped is actually rather a good movie. I watched it with a group of friends and we laughed more than we had at many recent highly acclaimed Hollywood fluff comedies. This is an independent film and as such portrays its subject matter (sex and dating) without the usual Hollywood fakery. I distinctly suspect that people's opinion of this film will depend very much on their experience of life. If you've never dated or partied much you won't get this movie because you won't have met people like these characters. If you have, you'll recognize many of the situations that portrayed here in comedic fashion. The ending was also good, as it did not portray women as unreal, helpless, virginal romantics in contrast to many Hollywood movies.

Whipped is a funny look at three guys who always scam women and end up getting scammed by the same woman. The movie has some great, funny dialogue and some outrageous scenes and I thought that it was a very good rental. Looking at the voting on this movie, however, and I'm baffled to see so many people disliked it. Maybe, this movie isn't for some people who have easily offended sensibilities. For my money, it was an entertaining hour and a half. Not great, but good.

I like movies about morally corrupt characters, but this was too much. The acting wasn't great, but that wasn't the real problem. The issue was the sinking feeling I got in the pit of my stomach about 20 minutes into the film. These characters were hollow. They had almost no depth, and what little they did have was devoted to the cruelty they displayed to each other in the guise of friendship. Exploring the darker sides of a set of characters can be fascinating, but you have to give those characters actual personalities or they are just cardboard cutouts. These characters were cardboard and the picture they gave was just ugly.

Whipped is at it's best when it focuses on the three guys and their "scamming". Their dialogue and situations are, at times, very funny. However, once Amanda Peet's character comes into the picture, the film loses its momentum. The story is predictable, the situations are boring, and the film strains to get laughs. It ends predictably but offers a few more laughs. Whipped is a rental, at best. It's a good party flick, some good laughs, no need to pay close attention, and decent spaces of blah to talk or run out to get more beer. (6 out of 10)
