It's an interesting movie if only as a study in scene stealing -- the female character is supposed to be the focus of the story (which begins with her kicking her asshole boyfriend to the curb and defiantly starting a new life sans bastard). RDA pulls off his character so effectively that it changes the alchemy of the story structure.

There's also the whole shirtless appeal, of course -- RDA was in the best shape of his entire life when he made it. The editing in the sex scenes is so bad it's almost laughable, but teh hawtness makes it worthwhile.
