Synopsis

The Los Angeles club scene is a place of booze-fueled decadence and debauchery. In a night full of possibilities, eight 20-somethings take to the clubs seeking good times, companionship and maybe a little sex. But in the harsh light of the morning after, their worlds are thrown into a spin of confusion when hungover Sara accuses hard-partying Mike of date rape. Loyalties are tested as each among them is forced to take sides.

videorama-759-859391 This is a well done movie, as in it's premise, with many actors addressing us earlier on, about their own views and attitudes towards sex, cause remember it's now 2000. What you don't count later on, is, if not watching the start, is the rapid turn the film takes. Yes our eight, twenty somethings, whatever, party like it's 1999, boozing, dancing, drug taking, and fighting. It's so 200O, this movie, which is colorfully, if deliciously entertaining and involving. Over the course of the night, things really get out of hand for two players, if instigated by a fracas with a bouncer, earlier. What ensues for O'Connell and Reid is sex gone wrong. O'Connell is charged with the rape of Reid, who back at his palatial spread, started coming onto him, and he returned his affections forcefully, against her will. But did he really rape as we have two sides to each story, as it appears Reid, her character, a wannabe actress here, has had a really bad history with booze. So really the film becomes in a lesser extent, a dramatic thriller. Who's bullshitting who. The film cleverly shows the different POV from our two, where Reid could of even made it up, where some flashbacks weren't authentic, or a little misrepresented, that's the fun in the story here. Like in Jerry Macquire, O'Connell matter of fact here, plays another big shot athlete, where only his best friend, Rick (Sean Patrick Flannery) stands by him, as really the other guys really don't know him. The dorky Trent (Ron Livingston) cracked me up, and stole the film. Besides the part where he tries to sneak back into the club, cause of his dress sense, wait to you see his hilarious flashback, later, before returning his crib, which he shares with the guy, that completes our foursome. Oh I didn't mention another short flashback, involving him with a much older woman, which you have to see. All performances are good here, and well as a sexy female cast, we have a couple of sexy bits, but this pic, will surprisingly involve you. Quite a potent film, if only for a unsatisfying or displeasing ending/result, that I highly recommend, especially to fans of some it's actors. Check out a scene of originality, where the druinken O'Connell, after his crime temporarily takes over a hamburger shop. Obviously, he really had the munchies.
antipas2000 DVD synopsis: When eight twenty-somethings, four guys and four girls, set off on a wild ride through L.A.'s nightlife, they get more-and-less-than they bargained for. Fuelled by the need for love and intimacy, the evening takes them on a crash course through the turbulent world of sex and dating.OK, let's face it. Most young guys out there who fancy Tara Reid like there is no tomorrow, will watch this film just for that one reason and too see her have sex. Now please, let's get serious. Body Shots boast a very good cast, excellent directing and quite an incredible storyline. It really shows the conflict that could and can happen with one-night stands, and the battle of the genders. It is always someone's word against the other. But who would "you" believe? The film is funny in some places, with some naughty and raunchy attitude from some of the characters. And there are some great one-liners. But what amazed me most is how well Tara Reid pulls off her character's emotions. She really give it great credit and you really sympathise with her. But you are still left with the unending question: What is the truth? What really happened?
bdonut Well, its starts off kind of interesting as we follow 4 guys and 4 gals into this club...but then it takes a stupid twist and becomes a movie about a rape. Sorry, this just did not work at all. The setup was all wrong. Not that things can spiral out of control in real life like this but the way they ran the voiceovers, the character intros, the humor (Ron Livingstone going on in his golf gear) etc., you felt they were setting you up for a romantic comedy or a look at the mores of "youth." It lost me totally. Basically, two movies in one never works. What can I say? This flick had a good idea where it was going then got derailed along the way.
skyhunter2000 After watching this movie twice in 1999, first in a movie theater where the board of censors have butchered most of the graphic scenes and second on a DVD where I've seen the complete uncut version, I was wondering if this movie is really suitable for public exhibition. I consider this movie as a soft core porn movie that will guarantee an X rating if this will be shown on conservative countries. The plot, the story line, the conflict are all tackling nothing but S-E-X. All of the characters in the movie are being portrayed as sex starved and wild party animals who wants nothing but fun. Oh! yeah! I admit I've got aroused by Tara Reid's voluptuous body but during her violent rape scene with Jerry O'Connell, I've totally lost my sympathies to her. She's crying to death that she was raped but how come she seduced Jerry when both of them were intoxicated? It's very clear that it was a consensual sex that transpired. I've almost puked in a scene when Ron Livingston sucked the breast of a 40 year old woman in public, GROSS!!!! Brad Rowe & Emily Temchen's quickie in the parking lot made me sick. Emily Procter's character was nothing short of a bust and Amanda Peet & Sean Patrick Flannery's characters were put into waste. Only perverts and masochists will enjoy this movie. This movie should be shown on Playboy Channel or any Adult channels on cable TV.
