The movie works because RDJ could be THAT guy
26 April 2014
Carla (Heather Graham) and Lou (Natasha Gregson Wagner) are both waiting on the street to surprise their boyfriends. However it's soon obvious that both of them are dating the same guy Blake (Robert Downey Jr). The girls break into his apartment to confront him. When he arrives, he starts talking to the girls and will he be able to turn things around?

Written and directed by James Toback, this is basically a three person play. The scenes are long and uncut. The dialog flows like an improvised rambling train of thought. Wagner is the rambling young naive girl. Graham is the more experienced woman. This movie depends almost solely on the magnetism of RDJ, and he makes it work. The two girls play off of RDJ like stereo. He could be THAT guy and I buy that he could actually talk his way out of the situation.
