I hated this film and would have turned it off in the first 5 minutes except for the fact that I wanted to write a detailed review for people like me who may be interested in seeing love movies, I was rather disappointed that there wasn't much information on this title and it seemed like a great movie from the previews but that as soon as I started to watch it it was total garbage, really the most wasted 3 dollars I've spent in a good while.I wouldn't recommend this to any one, I was also disappointed because I really liked the star of the film when she played in Scents and Sensibility but her character in this film was really different, and I mean that in a bad way. so anyways heres here are some of the things I noticed in the movie that were unsettling/ concerning to me. The movie starts with Wendy (the main character) calling her best friend Jen on the telephone, Jen is angry at Wendy for being late for their "girls night out" together and Wendy says shes on her way so Jen suggests "Hey why don't we watch 'Sex in the city' and throw olives at the screen every time some poor girl gets screwed by a douche bag". Later on Wendy's father dies, leaving her the château so Wendy meets the employees that worked for her father, when she meets the first employee her best friend is with her and the guy says "I'm gonna break this white girl" in Spanish Jen does not like the guy so she says "touch me and I'll permanently separate your balls" to which the guy responds "your loss". Yet more sexual references happen when Wendy runs into Chris at the grocery store, Chris had already bought her a tank of gas earlier in the film so Wendy offers to repay him by paying for his "grocerys" but all he has in his basket is one food item and a pack of condoms so he says "you want to buy my um---" and Wendy says "OH condoms! teaching a sex ed class later?" and Chris responds again saying "I'm sorry I don't know you enough to let you buy my prophylactics (protection)" Jen (her best friend) was spying the scene between Wendy and Chris and asked Wendy if she was flirty to which Wendy responds "yes I broke a bottle of wine and offered to buy him condoms". When Wendy and Jen meet Chris's dad for the first time Jen tells Wendy "I've been around enough dicks in my life to know one when I see them". There are a number of mentions of "Six pack abs" by Jen, Ramario at one point makes a joke about getting his "hands wet". When Ramario and Jen get together she tells him she doesn't like men who "wax their chest hair off" then she proceeds to ask Romario "when are you gonna give it up?" to which he responds "when I get what I want, Don't leave until your relaxed" Later on Wendy walks in the living room to find Romario sitting on her sofa with out a shirt on eating snacks and asks "woah whats wrong with this picture?" Romario says that Jen "wore" him out and Wendy responds "So I heard, thin walls you know." Jen proceeds to be more frustrated with Romario when he sends her "love sonnets" she tells Wendy she wants "Dirty texts" and says in frustration at her phone screen "just do me already!" She sees Ramario and he tries to talk to her about their "relationship" and Jen tells him less talking, they start to kiss and then step behind wine silos and the screen returns to Wendy's story. Ramario starts to fall for Jen and tells her she has broken his feelings and Jen's response to the situation was "how many times do I have to explain to him what friends with benefits means?" and by telling Ramario that it was "just supposed to be physical". Back to the story of Wendy and Chris- On their very first date together Wendy asks Chris "are you taking me some place cheap and dirty or expensive and just nasty?" they go to some place where they have a drink and Wendy tells him the alcohol is good and that she may start giving "lap dances" later to which he responds "I should have bought more condoms". In the middle of their date Chris's old girl friend comes in and for what ever reason he hides under the table and tells Wendy why. Wendy reacts to the situation by saying "why not act like a man and pretend you've got a penis?" she also tells him that she may not have expected anything out of their first date but "shaved" her legs and got a "bikini wax" "just in case" Chris asks Wendy out on another date by saying "in the interest of pretending I have a penis will you go out with me again" Wendy agrees and he tells her to be there at 7:30 in a "French maid outfit".
