Featured review
"How to Meet Girls and Alienate Friends"
Decent watch, could watch again, and can recommend.
I don't think this is a movie anyone is going to watch again and again, but I believe it's memorable enough to be somewhat infamous.
This is the movie with the hairdoll.
My big problem with this movie is that the protagonists are scumbag liars and cheaters, and while the antagonist is somewhat crazy, he's the villain because he catches them in the act of misdeeds. That he uses the information to his advantage is actually somewhat symbolic of heroic stories, but he's such a nutcase that it is twisted.
I'd love to see a reboot of this with Schwartzmen's character as the protagonist, but with some proper character development would be a great movie, this is, at best, a good movie.
