Plot
Two freshly single (read: dumped) white collar employees (Eckhart and Malloy) decide they are going to get even with every woman who ever made them feel bad. They conpsire to each date the same girl to the point of engagement, and simultaneously dump her. Their target is the sweet natured deaf girl Christine.

Verdict
A disturbing, well observed screen debut from director LaBute, while the three central performances are spot on.
