Scott is terrific as an arrogant jerk, a ladies man who teaches the fine art of picking up women to his nephew. This is an impressive film debut for Kidd in the triple roles of producer, director, and writer. The screenplay is quite good, full of keen observations about the male psyche. As producer, however, Kidd should have hired a competent director. So annoying is the camera work in this film that this man should not be allowed anywhere near a camera. Not only is the shaky hand-held camera nauseating but most of the shots are in extreme closeups with lots of blurry images. It is a shame that the good acting and script are undermined by the atrocious direction.
