On the surface an erotic comedy-drama, this is, at heart, a serious little number about two macho men adopting different stances to life, but each groping for some kind of meaning to it all. Peter Coyote and Nick Mancuso, two talented actors who deserved higher-profile careers, are both up to the emotional intricacies and subtleties of all this, although it's a pity that they have to play such unsympathetic characters - men who wallow in self-pity and seem unwilling or unable to assert a pattern of stability in their lives. James Laurenson enjoys himself as the effete owner of a fashionable art gallery and, in so doing, comes across as about the most real character in the film. The girls remain little more than sexy ciphers in a story whose uneasy undertones you may find too unsettling for enjoyment. It's basically a film about insecurity - and that may strike too loud a chord in many people's lives.
