Movies like this remind me that Quentin Tarantino has had far too much influence for his own good. The film is dull and poorly scripted, with bland characters and an unfulfilled aspiration to hipness. I'll give that it has an occasional stylish moment, and an occasional funny line, but most of the "style" seems contrived and forced and the majority of the laughs, for me, were unintentional. Although you have to give it to James Spader -- I don't think he *will* make a movie unless he is going to be having sex with one of the attractive female leads at some point. The theory holds true here, in a terribly unnecessary and out-of-place sex scene. Don't get me wrong, though, it was one of the few scenes I enjoyed.
