Such A Disgusting film with a Disgusting group Of People. Obviously - I Hated It.

Worth watching just for the opening sequence alone.
Masterfully shows random sex culture in its true colors. Its repulsive quality is its main appeal. The same things that today are revered and worshiped, here are shown for the vile untethering of bodily functions they actually are.
Also kind of amazing the big names they got for this flick. I suspect none read the script beforehand, thinking they were latching on to the next big BEE vehicle.
Jessica Biel and Faye Dunaway are in this for christ's sake.

This is not a great film. However, it's a good film. The opening sequence is well thought out, but poorly executed, and the performances in the first act are worse than in the second and third. There are real moments of brilliance here: the split screen scene, the snowflake that turns into a tear, and the travel-blog-montage. These scenes alone are interesting enough for me to remember the film for a long time.

Underrated. Lots of dynamic, innovative film-making going on here.

I checked out the Cult Canon article after watching the movie, and it has clips from the two scenes that probably also most wowed me.
