I thought this movie ways going to be more than it was. It starred Kim Cattrall (Sex and the City) so I thought it had to be somewhat decent. It's basically the story of 5 girl friends that get together for a sleepover and end up discussing sex quite a bit. You see a flash or two of the husbands supposedly at a bachelor party that they're supposed to be at. I guess one of the girls didn't trust the guy and wanted nothing to do with him. I really liked how the characters acted with each other. They each had their own personalities of course. This is one movie that I could say I watched and definitely say I would NOT watch it again because I just didn't care for it. It was labeled a comedy and I don't think I laughed that much at all!
I consider myself very critical of movies, so if I have something good to say, it means something! :) The title initially put me off. Here I was thinking it was going to be a senseless comedy about Live Nude Girls (wonder why I thought that!), but it turned out to be a funny view of what happens when girlfriends get together. I found it to be quite honest! The best part was when the friends are sharing their dreams, and Cynthis Stevenson's character imagines herself as a Barbie Doll. That part had me rolling!!!
Being a male I had often wondered what women think and talk about when they're on their own. I had no idea that it would be so obsessively sexual. In any case, this movie is an interesting examination of the lives and relationships of a bunch of women, each of whom have their own hang-ups and problems, but with a close-knit friendship which binds them together. The title can be somewhat misleading, although there is plenty of nudity involved, as this movie is more about women empowering women than about male exploitation/domination of women. A different slant in the old 'friends get back together for a reunion/wedding/death/whatever and talk/explore their past/renew bonds/whatever' genre. Worth a watch - 7/10.
I saw this movie years and years ago, and was impressed not only by the quirkyness of the film but also about where the film takes you throughout the movie.
Its basically like being inside the mind of woman from a sexual perspective, from a perspective of female bonding and her life.
The ironies, the joys the pains the relationships. (the pains! hahaha!) Basically leading the woman to herself and the fact that women always have one thing in common together which always brings them back together.
A great female bonding movie, a great movie about diversity and also quite amusing as well!
Highly recommended for women with a sense of humour who like to shmooze and bond with other women;P

As pointed out in other reviews, the veracity of the title leaves
something to be desired. I humbly suggest my one line summary
above as a more truthful substitute.
Having panned the title, what about the film? ..nothing worth paying
theatre admission prices to see, but it will still cost you 95 minutes
of your life, even if you see it "free."
And why would you want to do that? Maybe if you are curious about
techniques of character diminution that women can employ on
each other, you could find examples here. (BTW, note that I didn't
say ALL women do this.)
Then there is Dana Delany, who plays Jill, the strong one for the
better part of the movie. You may wind up hating her as her true
character in this role is revealed, but she is good at what she
does. In her other film works she brought life to "Exit to Eden" in a
really silly role as the "queen" of an island where people go to play
out their sexual fantasies. She plays a beautiful, but "dirty
double-crossing woman" in "The Right Temptation" in which she
cons Rebecca DeMornay into seducing her husband.
Most of the problems with this movie center around the annoying
overacting, exaggerated gestures, and excessive foul language.
You may get the feeling that you're watching an episode of an
"R-rated" soap focusing on an all-girls club meeting. But, what the
heck, if you like that sort of thing, why not?
