I feel can best be described in one word - annoying. It is the story of one guy who decides to go out to a club for the night and meets a go-go dancer and they plan to hang out for the night. The entire movie, which takes place in just one night, is about how they can't spend time together as all of the guy's friends are annoying and self-centered and you start to wonder about why he's friends with them, but as the movie goes on, you also learn that he's kind of a jerk too. In fact, the only really decent character in the whole movie is the dancer. If you're looking for romance, comedy or a good movie, this isn't it. It's about a long string of very annoying conversations that basically go nowhere. Honestly, in my opinion, the dancer should have bailed on all of them and never looked back.
