Interesting Premise Can't Carrv Entire Movie

By Wilfred Bra ndt Corresp011dent

was very intrigued by the idea of James Toback's newest film "Two Girls and a Guy". The plot revolves around a single chance meeting. Two women waiting in front of the SoHo loft realize, through casual conversation, that the boyfriend they've both been seeing for nearly a year is one and the same. Rather than walk away from the situation. the two decide to confront their lover about his dishonesty. The entirety of the fi lm focuses on these three characters di scussing their relation­ ship in the hoyfricnd's loft. When I heard about this premise for "Two Girls". I thought it was unique and challenging. Seeing it on film proves that it is indeed both these things. But Toback's lifeless script and lackluster direction don't li ve up to the chal lenge presented hy this unique storyline and setting. It's very diffi cult to make a film involving a few characters at a single location and keep it inter­ esting. Only a handful of movies that I can think of succeed in holding the audiences' attention. "Two Girls and a Guy" starts out promising. The premise is well set up, and the characters arc each di stinct and interesting. However, after the ki ck o ff. litt le develops. The three characters talk about their re lationship. And talk. And talk. They repeat themselves, contradict themselves, give half hearted insights and rhetorical questions. But it all seems in vain. The audience doesn' t learn enough about the characters to understand their actions, nor could they keep up their interest. It seems like Toback is trying to keep from moralizing or passing judgement on his characters. But in doing so, he has conveniently avoided the concept of fully developing either three dimensional characters or a captivating narrative. "Two Girls" docs have a few saving graces. The film utilizes some creative cinematography and sound, adding to the sparse feel of the loft apartment. I think it's supposed to come off as a small, intimate art fi lm. The personal tone of the story and the minimalist setting are akin to films like "Sex, Lies and Videotape" or "Stranger than Paradise". But what made those films successful was intell igent dialogue and intriguing plot development. Ne ither of these traits arc present in "Two Girls and a Guy". The director had a great notion that never fully evolved past it's one trick pony charm. I had high expectations for the cast too. Robert Downey Jr., Heather Graham ("Boogie Nights", " Drugstore Cowboy") and Natasha Gregson Wagner ("Lost Highway") star as the love torn tri o. Downey is actually qui te great, gi vin g depth and variety to a character that could be easily one sided. Graham and Wagner don' t fare quite so well however. Graham 's portrayal is sweet and understated, though a bit unfocused; and Wagner docs her best wi th what is an awkwardly written character, hut her best isn't nearly enough to hold up. Downey is the real reason I stayed through the end of the film . "Two Girls and a Guy" seems like the start of someth ing much better. When the screen faded to black. I kept waiting for it to come hack up and find Dut what happ~ned. Despite on~ large plot twist ncar the end o f th~ film. not much really happens, c ith~r physically or emotionall y. The interesting premise and Dow n ey·~ great acting can't carry ninety minutcs of film. My advice is. save your money. Watch the trailer. and you've seen t h~ whole film.
