The performances are absolutely superb, and that's where the film wants to live.

Scott's hilariously hateful hauteur is able to counteract some falsely fuzzy notes in the ending.

Scott ... has never had a showier, edgier part, and he plays it to the hilt.

Some have condemned this film for 'filthy content.' That's like condemning a hospital for being a place of disease. Kidd deals with 'filth' the way a surgeon treats a tumor.

The dialogue addresses our expectations, gets us laughing and stops the movie from becoming too obvious a character study.

Kidd's story is a bitter pill to swallow - many will find the portrayal of Roger as some kind of hero bizarre.

Blatantly arrogant, unapologetically misogynistic, morally repugnant, and absolutely hypnotic. All these descriptions and more can be applied to the character of Roger Swanson (Campbell Scott)

Kidd says he wants the extras to act as a 'film school in a box,' but the overall effect is more 'it takes a village,' indie-style ...

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 12, 2003

...Rogers's mouth never stops shut about the war between the sexes and how to win the battle.

| Original Score: B | May 11, 2003

Other than the slightly flawed (and fairly unbelievable) finale, everything else is top shelf.
