Two women discover that they are in love with the same man, an unemployed actor, while waiting on his doorstep to "surprise" him on his return from a trip away. Taking this revelation surprisingly well they break into his apartment and later confront him. What follows is a rambling three hander, set in a salubrious Manhatten loft, revolving around issues of lies, promiscuity and fidelity.

This could easily have been a stage play. Shot over an eleven day period, 95% of the film involves just the three main characters, in the same location, the Manhattan loft. Events take place almost in real time. Improvisation appears to be used liberally.

For a "character" film, characterisation is remarkably shallow. Only Robert Downey Jnr really gets into his role (but then the script was apparently tailored to help him make a comeback after his stint in the chokey). Even then, we don't really get under the skin of his singing-and-dancing, practical-joking, two-timing Blake. The female parts are not strong enough to sustain one's interest the whole way through, although Wagner as the feistier of the two, has her moments. Also, some noticeably poor edits and sound dubs (time pressures, no doubt) don't help matters. But worst is the tone of the dialogue - so glib and directionless. One-liners like: "Maybe monogomy violates some part of our being". If you want to see Robert Downey Jnr in full swing, this is for you, otherwise don't waste your time.
