Storyline
In Los Angeles, Nikki is homeless, car-less and closing in on 30, but he's amoral, good-looking, and adept in the sack, moving from one wealthy woman of 35 or 40 to another, a kept boy-toy. His newest gig, with Samantha, an attorney whose house overlooks L.A., is sweet, although it's unclear how long she'll put up with him. Then Nikki meets Heather, a waitress. Is the player being played, or might this be love? What will Nikki discover?

Reviews

Mackenzie delivers that story as a blend of sex comedy, dark satire, and morality tale that recalls various aspects of "Shampoo" and "Less Than Zero" and "The Graduate," but has a couple of nifty surprises and a poisonous sting in its tail that's all its own.

Rolling Stone
Props to Kutcher for going to surprising, painful places. There's something haunted in his portrayal that hits hard and sticks.

Kutcher gives a surprisingly proficient performance as does Heche who is the shining star of the film.

The whole movie is pat -- very pleased with itself for being so up front about the ways of a 21st-century man-whore.
50
One of the best things about this film is that ultimately nobody in it is attractive.
