Carla (Heather Graham) and Lou (Natasha Gregson Wagner) are two beautiful women who have never met and didn't think they had anything in common until one fateful day in New York. Both women are standing outside a sprawling loft when they get into a discusion about what pigs men are after both have just been hit on by one rather forward guy whose girlfriend catches him chatting up are two leading ladies. Lou does most of the talking describing her dream of a boyfriend Blake (Robert Downey Jr.). Blake is an actor and he can talk anyone into "buying a house without a roof." "Sounds irresistible" Carla replies. After more gushing from Lou something doesn't sit right with Carla. She realizes that her boyfriend also an actor sounds a lot like Lou's love and both women realize that Blake is stepping out with both of them at the same time. They break into his loft and wait for him to return where they plan to confront him and demand answers. Once the women break into the loft this film becomes like a stage play (a comparison that Toback hates as evidenced by his commentary track) taking place in one location and with a lot of talking. The acting has to be good to keep your interests with a film like this and fortunately it is. Graham is beautiful and great as the more self assured and forward of the two women but Wagner is given more of the funnier dialogue and has several rapid fire monologues. Of course Downey has the most difficult role having to be sympathetic and charming explaining his deception to both ladies. He is good though not perfect throughout. He is obviously playing Toback which he has done before to better effect in their previous collaboration The Pick Up Artist. Downey does have several funny moments though such as when he convinces the girls of what a great actor he is by playing Hamlet and when Graham asks him not to refer to her by name he replies " What am I supposed to call you, Timmy?" Of course Toback explores the same raw sexual material that he has explored in all of his work most notably the debate over ownership of the phallus that he very first introduced in his debut film Fingers. Basically its eighty four minutes of talking that is occasionally funny, sometimes uncomfortable and truthful but ultimately leading to an ending that doesn't quite work. I would recommend that you check out the Pick Up Artist which is Downey's and Toback's very first collaboration. It is PG-13 tame for Toback and is a sweet romance with Molly Ringwald as the object of affection and with a great supporting cast including Dennis Hopper, Harvey Keitel, and Danny Aiello.

I think I'd rather sit through a root canal than watch this horrific film again. James Toback has to be the worst writer/director at work today. Even talented Robert Downey Jr. is wasted. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

God, what a steaming pile. A huge, steaming pile. It's packed with non-stop, pop-feminist, "let's-bring-men-down-a-notch" psycho-babble blather about philandering men and their mommy fixations. What a risibly pretentious steaming pile. I actually burst out with an involuntary barrage of contemptuous laughter when the ignoramus played by Natasha Gregson Wagner referenced Anais Nin in this risibly pretentious, incessantly voluble steaming pile. Did anyone else want to punch both these women in the mouth? Did anyone else wonder if James Toback is trying to score some points with the poetry chicks at his local cappucino bar? Did anyone else find themselves praying for death? Did I mention that this movie is a steaming pile?

The very first 30 minutes is hilarious and entertaining. Then it becomes so unrealistic and boring that it's hard to watch.
It's worth viewing for curiosity.

Two Girls and a Guy was a movie I misseed while I was graduating high school and I remembered hearing about it but just saw it now. I found it pretty good.....was expecting a crazy 3some with the NC-17 rating but the sex scene was pretty decent atleast there was some tongue involved and actually lasted more than 30 seconds unlike the "R" rated movies of yesterday which there are no sex scenes anymore. Heather Graham was adorable as always and I liked the other girl too. Robert Downey Jr. did a great job as a typical womanizer and actually did manage to wrangle himself out of this one(somewhat) except he learned a few things he didn't want to know in the process. I am glad I watched it and had a good time....
