Whipped A Movie Review	MPAA Rated - R It's 1:24 Long A Review by The Dude on the Right

When I first saw the preview for "Whipped" I wanted to see it because Amanda Peet was in it, and after seeing her in "The Whole Nine Yards," and I’m talking nearly all of her except what was covered by a well placed banister, I had hopes that her inhibitions to get naked were still gone and that "Whipped" would gain a thumb for some nudity. Then I saw the headlines for an article saying that "Whipped" almost got an NC-17 rating and I thought "Yes!!!!!" Then I read the article. It basically said that "Whipped" didn’t have any nudity, but that it almost got the doomed rating due to language. I thought "No nudity, damn. But, my God, how bad can it be?" I knew I still had to see the movie.

"Whipped" will, in its story about three single dudes along with their married dude, give you nearly every sexual innuendo made to man (and I’m sure the rest were covered in the NC-17 version which I hope makes it to video!). And that’s the thing that really keeps this movie fun (along with the hope of seeing Amanda naked (it doesn’t happen) and the trials of the married dude). You want the story, here we go…

In this movie you get Brad (Brian Van Holt), Eric (Juda Domke), Zeke (Zorie Barber), and Jonathan (Jonathan Agrahams). They’re all friends but don’t usually hang out together except for brunch on Sunday to re-cap their scores for the weekend, well, all except Eric, the married dude, who tries to keep up by bragging about his love-life with his wife. The three just want to get laid and aren’t looking for a relationship, and they aren’t afraid to leave out any detail about their latest score. Entering into their lives is Mia (Amanda Peet). Somehow, one weekend, they all meet Mia in separate instances, and, well, Mia is the girl of each of their dreams. Nothing comes between friends like one girl, and Mia splits them all. Meanwhile Eric is pissed at Mia because with her coming into the his friend’s lives, well, it means no more brunches for the boys to get together and brag about their sex lives.

Anyway, the dudes all want Mia, and they all think about marrying Mia, but we find that Mia is playing all of them for fools. Such are women.

The movie didn’t have to far to go, and you can really find that by the fact that it is less than an hour and a half long – and that’s not a bad thing. Sure, not the greatest value for your buck, but dragging it out more would have dropped this movie in the rating scale. But the fun in the movie is how the dudes are such idiots, how their bragging is so over the top it is hilarious, and how you wonder if getting married is worth it at all.

I won’t go into more of the movie except to say that I can almost understand the NC-17 rating but still can’t understand how some other movies get PG-13 ratings. Oh hell, what do I know? "Whipped" shows you that men are pigs (duh?), but more importantly, that women are evil. We (men) can be such suckers, and our dicks still get in the way of rational thinking.

If you want a pretty stupid movie with some of the best toilet humor around, go and see "Whipped." If you get offended by any innuendo of people having sex, you’re better off staying at home.

In the end I laughed a lot. The acting wasn’t that great, the story was kind of dorky, but "Whipped" made me appreciate toilet humor once again, and since I found myself able to appreciate the humor in "Whipped," well, I don’t feel as old anymore! It’s 4 stars out of 5 for "Whipped."

That’s it for this one! I’m The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!!

Oh, yea, I almost forgot. Don’t jump right up and head for the exits when you think the movie is over. You get some out-takes and some more definitions, like the term cock-block, which our writer Stu Gotz is already too familiar with! L8R again!!
