Watch It

This week's suggestion is the 1993 comedy Watch It.
-
It has the one of the best taglines ever: Four men and the women they annoy.
-
Too bad the movie isn't quite as good as its tagline. I'm still recommending it, but don't be expecting a great movie. It's just good.
-

It's all about relationships, but I would not call this a "chick-flick" by any stretch.
-
John moves in with 3 house-mates, one who's his estranged cousin. It shows as he tries to reconnect with his cousin, along with the romantic relationships of the womanizing guys.
-
It's got a lot of good actors: Peter Gallagher, Suzy Amis, John C. McGinley, Tom Sizemore, Cynthia Stevenson, and Lili Taylor. All of whom do good jobs here.
-
It's rated R for it's vulgarity, and I found some scenes hard to sit though. So I won't say run right out and Watch It. But if you're looking for a brutally honest, yet funny film it's worth renting.
