Length: 94 mins approx

The Plot:

The plot, 3 best friends and members of a Neil Young tribute band are torn apart when Darren (Biggs) meets a young female psycologist Judith Fessbeggler played by Amanda Peet.

Peet is a driven career woman who is intent on whipping Darren into shape, job one is to stop him seeing his friends and to quit the band. She also refuses to have sex with Darren nor will she alow him to seek self gratification.

Desperate to prevent their friend from ruining his life when he proposes to Judith, JD and Wayne take matters into their own hands and set about breaking up Darren and Judith by any means necessary. Any means include kidnapp, faking death pretty much whatever they can do to save their friend.

The Verdict:

Oh my lord, this is quite possibly the worst film I have ever seen. Obviously earlier in Jack Blacks career this piece of trash was even beyond his skills to save. The script and performances are all dire. I really cannot speak lowly enough about this uninspired, misogynistic pile of dung. AVOID IT

DVD:

Apparently the DVD is on sale (no surprise there ) at play.com for £7.99 in the UK it was released as Evil Woman, probably trying to distance themselves from the bad press this film must have received stateside.
