Whipped (2000)

Highly Overrated But Still Good

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The acting in this movie is really good.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

this film fit my style, the fast cut scenes, the quick urban language,and the offbeat characters. This is hands down the funniest movie ever made. 3 guys scamming chicks and feeling no remorse, people believe me, this really is how guys act, none of that, I want to fall in love and watch the TLC channel with my wife crap. The funniest scene, being I'm black, is when those white guys are playing hoops, and their air balling lay-ups, and they were taking the game serious too. The only downside of this movie were the scenes with amanda peete. I like it best when the guys are without her and just clowning around. This to me was a great film, and you'll never get tired of laughing your butt off to it, I suggest you rent it or own it.

Spoiler Alert WHIPPED (2000) 1/2 Amanda Peet, Brian Van Holt, Jonathan Abrahams, Zorie Barber, Judah Domke. (Dir: Peter M. Cohen) Amanda Peet is a star on the rise and has proven to show true comic potential as previously displayed earlier this year in `The Whole Nine Yards' where she held her own with co-stars Bruce Willis and Matthew Perry with her own natural charm not belied by her prettiness. However in this debacle of the dating game wars between the sexes she is left to her own defenses in arguably the worst 'comedy' of the year and maybe the worst film of the year period.Four immature moron buddies - Brad (Van Holt), a brogadaccio Wall Street slickster; Zeke (Abrahams), a downtown artiste wannabe; Jonathan (Abrahams) a seemingly closeted homosexual with apparently no occupation except his extracurricular mastabatory schedule; and Eric (Domke) the pudgy, married doofus - who meet for Sunday brunch in a downtown Manhattan greasy spoon to pontificate on their sexual prowess and the degradations thereof. Each tries to trump the other (all by the way having nothing in common except being egotistical jerk-offs) with their weekly exploits and embellishments that give bull***t a new meaning.Then one week the three bachelors find what they each think is the perfect woman and declaring she's the one; this must be love. If you can't see the sub-sitcom level approach leading to the ultimate plot device of them all loving the same woman then you're about as smart as a piece of furniture (or in this case one of the male leads here).That woman is Mia (Peet) who also isn't terribly bright or lacking any scruples when the trio stumble onto her apartment one fateful weeknight and bicker about who's going to stay. Somehow the foursome agree to continue dating one another only to escalate the testosterone stupidity several dozen notches which leads to a friendship showdown and.oh never mind! The `twist' at the end is that Mia turns out to be a player in her own right and the `lesson' is supposed to be that she uses them just as they have used women before. The film is such a mess and amateur filmmaking at its worst. The script is just riddled with expletives at the highest decibel with the four idiot buddies screaming at one another and just plain nasty overall. There's absolutely nothing funny about this attempt at a male `Sex and The City' approach with nothing clever, original (its bare-bones format is a la `Diner' which is likening `Citizen Kane' to `Porky's' which is `Citizen Kane' compared to this crap!) or memorable except Ms. Peet deserves better as do we all. To quote Roger Ebert on his notorious panning of Rob Reiner's`North': `I HATED HATED HATED THIS MOVIE!!'

For those of you who have not seen this movie yet, spare yourselves the pain. This movie has to be one of the most morally corrupt movies of all time. Also the script is a piece of crap and the actors performances sucked worse than that kids movie "The Two-Minute Werewolf". Basically this movie was a complete provides not interesting plot, bad acting, and no likeable qualities whatsoever. I will say though that Amanda Peet is a pizza, pizza ass, but she does not save this movie.

(Contains spoilers, but the movie is so bad that you may not make it to the end anyway.)"Whipped" is about a group of friends in the big city, it involves sex, it stars Amanda Peet and it's hard to watch - in that respect, it's a lot like "Body Shots" without the violent rape. Whipped is also what writer-producer-director Peter M. Cohen should be for bringing the world this fiasco.In it, three obnoxious and unbearable single friends, in addition to always being on the pull (though one of them usually spends his time "talking to the hand"), spend their Sundays hanging out with their mutual obnoxious and unbearable married friend and talking about their sex lives. The single guys later each meet Miss Right, and later find out that they're all dating the same woman; it's a tribute to Miss Peet that you can understand why they fancy her - not only is she lovely, but she's the most (and arguably only) appealing character in the movie. SPOILER ALERT... SPOILER ALERT... SPOILER ALERT...Even in the "twist" ending where she tells HER friends she was playing with the men all along, basically giving them a taste of their own medicine - which, incidentally, was not far off from what I suspected (the fourth guy talks about his wife but we never see her, and I figured that she was his wife and he was setting them up) - instead of thinking that she's just the same as them, it's difficult not to think that those jerks well and truly had it coming. SPOILER ALERT OVER... SPOILER ALERT OVER... SPOILER ALERT OVER...Plus, her vibrator joke in the outtakes during the credits is far funnier than the one in the movie (unless you really think rummaging around in a urine-filled toiler bowl for a buzzing vibrator is the height of humour). Or anything else in the movie, for that matter. Relentlessly crude, filled with facile emotions and not even up to the standard of the worst-ever "Friends" clone, this is a movie only Miss Haversham could love. Another time-waster redeemed only by Amanda Peet (see also "Simply Irresistible" and "The Whole Nine Yards").
