This most excellent movie provides the audience with one of the best American actors of today, Robert DeNiro, in a role that suits and excludes any other talent that may have been at first attached to this project. I have just now sat thru another viewing and at the now number of the 45th time I have watched this comedy/action flick, I am still amazed and happy that I have it in my collection of films. It's essence is still crystal clear and even without the use of cell phones and other 'technologically' correct apparatus never fails to entertain and appease our sense of two very different people on a journey towards Life...a communication between 'good guy, bad guy', and their trials and travails traveling together. And the fuzzy distinction of who actually is the good or bad guy. I love all Buddy movies, some that come to mind are "Beverly Hills Cop", "48 Hours", "Twins", Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man", "Planes, Trains and Automobiles"and "Thelma and Louise". If any of you have other titles that fit under 'buddy movies' please name them so that I might be able to watch any that I may have missed for they are a favorite of mine. Enjoy Life with a Buddy, it's the only way to go!!!
Pretentious, pseudo-intellectual, pre-frontal foreplay without substance or passion. Wooden acting by all except, Robin Tunney, who displayed unusual adeptness for her characters' misunderstood, Zoe. Neve Campbell wasted here as a rather prim and prudish, librarian type and Dermot Melroney as the rather starched, disillusioned and distant group discussion leader. It was to be a critical expose on the fragility of the Male orgasm and all its unreasonable expectations. It missed. It made men out to bestial, carnivorous, exploratory and very misinformed about women's bodies. On that note it was right on the mark. But from the very nature of the questions asked in the film it was obvious that the filmmaker was only expressing his limited scope and hoping to get a generous amount of love and money for his attempts at honesty apparently since he could not get a date.
