Pretty good flick. The main dude was very hard to like. He was a real loser. Anniston was good.

Anniston was good.

Especially when she told that dude, "I wanna f*ck you right now." I was like, "OK." And then I realized she wasn't talking to me....

I think I had to rewind that a few times just to hear that phrase come out of her mouth.

I think I had to rewind that a few times just to finish rubbing one out as that phrase come out of her mouth.

Fixed.

I just watched it. For the first 90 minutes I this thinking, it’s okay but I don’t see what the big deal about it was. Then when Charles goes to Lucinda’s office to talk to her, I had one those “holy crap” moments. It got really good after that. Vincent Cassel made a pretty good bad guy.

LOL! She actually said "I THINK I wanna ...."

Saw this last night. Pretty predictable, IMHO. Not a bad way to spend a few hours though.

Just watched this.

I figured a twist was coming, and it was so obvious that it sort of ruined the movie for me.

I didn't think it was that great, ugh.
