CAUTION! SPOILERS FOLLOW! This has to be one of the toughest movies I have ever had to rate. It's a difficult film to like but it also has some very good performances and is competently, if unexceptionally, directed. Some of the behavior of the characters is hard to buy. Agreeing to coverup the strippers death is one thing, but the outright murder of the security guard is one other thing. I was at least satisfied the film examined some of the characters' subsequent breakdowns over guilt and fear of getting caught. I also think the final joke of Cameron Diaz being stuck taking care of a legless husband and his brain-damaged friend would have paid off better if Diaz's character had been portrayed more emphatically as a shrew instead of just a young woman normally obsessed over her wedding plans. In short, the film is watchable, although not for weak stomachs.
