Once in Los Angeles, the typically faithful Bobby (Jake Weber) finds that he can't resist Monica (Maria Bello), and he ends up cheating on his wife. Beautiful but devious, Monica collects evidence of his indiscretion and will ruin Bobby's marriage unless he takes drastic measures to stop her.

Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews None of it is that funny or suspenseful, and all the characters are far from sympathetic. Rated: C+ Aug 20, 2009 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...it's hard to really dislike a flick in which a beating is administered with a sack full of oranges. Rated: 3/4 Aug 1, 2006 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Rated: 2/5 Mar 25, 2006 Full Review Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone TheMovieChicks.com I was more than 100 miles away from home when I saw this movie, so I wasn't sure if it counted... The more bizarre the situation gets, the funnier it is - with 'movie violence' and classic physical comedy. Rated: 3.5/5 May 14, 2003 Full Review Steve Rhodes Internet Reviews Always quite funny and sometimes even a bit sinister. Rated: 3/4 Mar 11, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I really don't know what to say about this comedy directed by Brent Huff. A story presented as a dark comedy about three salesmen from Detroit who come to Los Angeles for a two week seminar and get themselves involved in a world of trouble when their 'fun' snowballs into a roller-coaster ride of secrets, guilt, peer pressure and stupidity, was funny at the moments! Away from their wives and children, Bobby, Jerry and his boss Howard are tempted by beautiful women and alcohol in the hotel bar. Bobby, a family man, tries to avoid the "rule 100 miles" (if you are within 100 miles of your home, you are free to do as you please). While Jerry and Howard spend their free time chasing girls, Bobby is dedicated to spend some time with the outdoor sporting activities. There he meets Monica, a gorgeous hotel maid... Screenplay had its moments, that is a fact, but altogether wasn't fulfilling... still, I could not give it a lower rating than 60% because I did laugh. Casting wasn't perfect but Jake Weber, Maria Bello, David Thornton, Michael McKean, Nick Chinlund and Shawn Huff, did enough not to be blamed. Nothing special, but good for lonely nights. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Not very much to recommend this movie except Maria Bello. I like her as an actress. However, in general, the movie has no redeeming social value. Not even worth renting from the library... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member A complete waste of time, unlikeable characters and a stupid plot. Don't bother. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty sure I did watch this. But it wasn't memorably good nor memmorably bad. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a great movie by any stretch but a good plot and storyline. This movie is little corny (70's style) but still interesting enough to keep you watching. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member staring jake weber, so i watched. really pretty dumb. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/23/07 Full Review Read all reviews
