Connection To CURSED - Shannon Elizabeth.
Misogynistic might be the word to describe this movie, but maybe that word is a touch unfair but it's certainly a film made by men for men and I'm sure if your a man's man you'll find this movie just super...
The story is group of male friends who make a deal to invest in a fund, which would get paid to the last remaining bachelor of the group, cut to somewhere down the line where Jerry O'Connell attempts go get the other remaining bachelor Jake Busey married so he can pay off a gambling debt, he conveniences a policewoman (Shannon Elizabeth) who as some sexual history with Busey, pretty much as expected O'Connell falls for Elizabeth.
All this is just an excuse for a string of scenes involving random situations such as O'Connell getting himself into A BDSM fetish with a quiet librarian and her grandmother and an incident involving Busey's removed testicle (yes really) that ends with the Doctor - played by David Ogden Stiers accidentally biting into at the hospital cafeteria (I must have missed that M*A*S*H episode). Also at least this movie acknowledges that O'Connell and Elizabeth where going to fall for each other so at least the feelings are out there on the screen from the start.
The group of friends have a gay friend, but this didn't stop them having a bit of a homophobic edge also Horatio Sanz is married to Jaime Pressly whose clearly a lesbian and yes it does end in what would be a man's fantasy. Also Jake Busey getting a lot of women can only be because of the wealth his family have, I'd argue there's no reason, I'm mean he looks like a Busey and he ain't exactly the most charming person in this.
On one last note, I think it's a shame Shannon Elizabeth's career fizzled out somewhere down the line, Hollywood had moved onto the next thing I guess, but she's got a decent enough screen presence in my opinion.
Overall, it's a film for men obsessed with pissing contests, for the sort of man I am everything and everything one in this just felt like a stereotype, but it's not really awful to be fair, it's more harmless and dumb.
