Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review While not the adult-interest title that its moniker might suggest, IWhipped/I is still a near-the-knuckle, extremely bawdy comedy of grown-up pursuits. Set in New York, it takes a less than flattering look at the games played by the single men and women of the city, in particular three young males--Brad, Jonathon and Zeke. Their lives centre around "scamming" women and meeting up once a week to brag about their exploits, that is until they all come across the woman of their dreams. Coincidentally, this happens at the same time. Less than coincidentally, it happens to be the same woman, Mia (Amanda Peet). p The machinations that follow their discovery of this strange turn of events form the bulk of the storyline, as each attempts to stab his friend in the back in order to win Mia's affections. The film fails, however, because its portrayal of the three desperate men is so uncanny that it's impossible to establish even the slightest empathy towards them. Consequently IWhipped/I degenerates into a succession of base sexual jokes and charmless attempts at emotion before finally running out of steam after 90 minutes. Its denouement is doubtless intended to be seen as a pro-feminist statement, but merely indicates that women can be just as shallow and unpleasant as men. In the hands of an independent European filmmaker, IWhipped/I could have been a comedy of style and panache but, as it is, the movie is a joyless experience.p BOn the DVD:/B IWhipped/I on DVD has good, yet unremarkable, sound and picture quality. There are no extras aside from a trailer, which gives a fair indication of the less-than-stunning experience ahead. --IPhil Udell/I

Customer Reviews: Fantastic April 30, 2002 3 out of 4 found this review helpful Four men who meet regularly every Sunday to compare notes on their latest conquest all get in over their heads when they fall for the same woman (Peet). Little do they know that Peet is playing them all for fools, and their lives and friendships will never be the same. The film is absolutely hilarious with some floor-banging, jaw-droppingly funny moments. I highly recommend it.
