Just One Time

This is a cute tale of a fireman, his fiancee, and the young man who has a crush on the fireman. The fireman has always fantasized about a threesome with two women, and as part of a bachelor party wish, his fiancee agrees -- but not to the threesome he had in mind.

Turn-about is fair play, right? Male chauvinism collides with energetic feminism and latent gayness -- and sparks fly. After all, it is better than a broken arm or a dead mother, right? What a test of manhood! Why didn't someone think of this before?

It's too bad that this film isn't better known because it's a gender-bender with lots of fun. The sausage and fish discussion ranks up there with Lawrence Olivier and Tony Curtis' culinary chat in SPARTACUS.

One of many morals to the story is -- be careful of what you wish for. And if you wish for a light fun film, see this one.

Just One Time is a truly funny movie about a guy who gets a taste of his own medicine. He wants his girlfriend to have a lesbian encounter so he can watch and gratify himself. But she is disgusted by his request and leaves him to his porn magazines. Meanwhile a gay admirer of his meets his girlfriend downstairs and it has a twist ending that may not be for people who do not like homosexuals. but i laughed very hard. irony is sweet.

Lane Janger is delightful in this bit of risque froth...his delivery and timing are perfect for comedy but would be just as good in drama. We need to see a lot more of him than in "Just One Time", with his obvious talent it's a sure bet we will.

I didn't have high expectations for this film, but I was blown away. This was obviously a labor of love for Lane Janger (star, writer, director). The characters are sweet, attractive and funny. The film has a great sense of humor, scoring laughs, but never getting silly. It's a uniquely touching look at relationships that avoids the cliches and sappiness of the big Hollywood romantic comedies. Why can't more independent films be as well put together as this and why can't more Hollywood romances be this smart? A definite recommendation.

It's a movie like angel food cake -- light, fluffy, insubstantial, and a bit sweet. Unexpected little plot twists and some surprisingly witty dialogue make it a good accompaniment for a big bowl of popcorn on a night when you're not up for anything heavy and meaningful. Hey, sometimes you just want to laugh, and this is just the ticket.
