When the marital problems of a couple (Walters, Mohr) are attempted to be solved by a marriage counselor (Boyle), a depression expert (Spader), and their attorneys (Murray, O'Hara), what eventually happens instead is a series of random pairings off...This underrated comedy-drama by Andrew Fleming may one day be seen as a reflection of the muddled sexual politics of the 1990s. Three dissimilar college students played by Lara Flynn Boyle, Stephen Baldwin, and Josh Charles become unlikely best friends, forging a relationship so exclusive it actually troubles onlookers. From the inside, however, the trio are enjoying the safety of their own bond and exploring varying needs of love and sexual adventurousness. Erotic, bawdy, sensuous, mysterious, and nostalgic, the film can make a viewer envy the state of grace these characters have found with each other. All three actors have neve! r been better.
