One of the sharpest male-oriented comedies of the 1990s.

Ninety minutes spent learning how not to pick up girls. This is what the movies were made for, isn't it?

Top Critic

Four guys hang out, kid one another, get into scuffles and flash their gonadal searchlight for available women. Yikes, haven't there been enough variations on the multiple-buddy movie? Actually, no.

A winningly confident snapshot of the nightlives of a bunch of young showbiz wannabes in a very upto-the-minute Hollywood.

Mr. Favreau wrote this screenplay with his real friends in mind. And the cast's camaraderie is appealingly clear.

A guy film that gives you something to latch onto, that makes male bonding both believable and appealing.

The movie is sweet, funny, observant and goofy with a small "g," which means you don't get paid, but at least you don't have to wear the suit.
