    I laughed! I cried! I made a disgusted face!

    Just One Time is a truly funny movie about a guy who gets a taste of his own medicine. He wants his girlfriend to have a lesbian encounter so he can watch and gratify himself. But she is disgusted by his request and leaves him to his porn magazines. Meanwhile a gay admirer of his meets his girlfriend downstairs and it has a twist ending that may not be for people who do not like homosexuals. but i laughed very hard. irony is sweet.

    Fuchsia sneakers?!

    This is a cute tale of a fireman, his fiancee, and the young man who has a crush on the fireman. The fireman has always fantasized about a threesome with two women, and as part of a bachelor party wish, his fiancee agrees -- but not to the threesome he had in mind.

    Turn-about is fair play, right? Male chauvinism collides with energetic feminism and latent gayness -- and sparks fly. After all, it is better than a broken arm or a dead mother, right? What a test of manhood! Why didn't someone think of this before?

    It's too bad that this film isn't better known because it's a gender-bender with lots of fun. The sausage and fish discussion ranks up there with Lawrence Olivier and Tony Curtis' culinary chat in SPARTACUS.

    One of many morals to the story is -- be careful of what you wish for. And if you wish for a light fun film, see this one.

    All-around Fun Film

    I just saw this film last night (10/21/00) and liked it a lot. It ain't Shakespeare, but it is a very light, sexy, independent film with likable actors/characters. I recommend it.

    The plot involves an engaged couple who each trade fantasies. He has always wanted to sleep with his fiancee together with another woman. His fiancee agrees, but only if he agrees to sleep with her together with another guy. Quid Pro Quo. She is really trying to teach him a bit of a lesson, but by the end of the film, they each learn a lesson about themselves and about their relationship.

    I enjoyed this movie a lot primarily b/c I liked, "I Think I Do" very much. They seemed so similar. Today I checked the Internet Movie Database and it turns out that, not coincidentally, the star/co-writer/director of this film is Lane Janger. Mr. Janger also co-produced "I Think I Do" (and gets a close-up in that film playing the bit part of a wedding bartender).

    He does consistently good work.

    Go Watched it, a very funny movie

    Just saw this at the SF Gay and Lesbian Film festival. Though this is in fact not a gay and lesbian movie, the subplot itself is just so gay and so funny... it all started when the guy asked his to be wife in ten days if she could fulfill a life long fantasy for him... he wants her to make out with a girl so that he could watch... and then she turned the tables on him by asking the same of him... ie he is to make out with a guy just for her... and all this for JUST ONE TIME...

    The movies develops from there... about the confusion and stuff... the director, who wrote the screenplay and play the main lead is impressive and the young kid, Guillermo Díaz, an Antonio Banderas look alike is also very very good.

    Go watched it when it is released.... a real fun movie.

    Delightful Lane Janger deserves a much greater audience...

    Lane Janger is delightful in this bit of risque froth...his delivery and timing are perfect for comedy but would be just as good in drama. We need to see a lot more of him than in "Just One Time", with his obvious talent it's a sure bet we will.
