The set-up is tantalising, the casting is immaculate and the performances sparkling. But somehow, the script never rings true.

Reviews for Two Girls and a Guy
Top CriticAs a serio-comedy, it only half succeeds. The laughs are well earned, but the attempts at serious romantic analysis fall short of poignancy.
11/10/09
The young actresses Graham and Wagner here create two characters who feel whole, distinct and weighty.
02/12/08
Top CriticAn edgy, gabby, salaciously subversive sex farce.
02/12/08
Top CriticYou gotta admire a director who can come up with a way to hang out in such luxurious digs for two weeks, acting out sexual situations with three of the dishiest young actors in the business.
02/12/08
A lively, if slender, perpetuation of the battle between the sexes on a modern battleground.
02/12/08
Top CriticBuilt around a fearless performance by the protean Robert Downey Jr., this deliberately provocative story of deception and sexuality packs a punch that's undermined by the director's indulgence.
02/12/08
Writer-director James Toback must believe his audience is hopelessly prudish if he thinks this pedantic story, which takes place over several hours in a Manhattan loft, is provocative.
02/12/08
Toback has somehow managed to prolong and expand this sketchy egg-on-your-face situation with a series of unexpected ironies and power role reversals that are not without wit, humor and intelligence.
04/27/07
A thoroughly engrossing, intelligent and enjoyable experience.

07/23/05
There is little realistic feel to the characters, as drawn by Tobak.
04/09/05
Mildly entertaining. Is never as erotic as it thinks it is.
