Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Eight glossy, good-looking young actors, including Sean Patrick Flanery (Powder, Suicide Kings), Jerry O'Connell (Stand by Me, Scream 2), Amanda Peet (One Fine Day), Tara Reid (American Pie, Urban Legend), and Brad Rowe (Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss). Women in their underwear and short, tight dresses; men in suits. Men's bare buttocks and women's bare breasts (at least in the unrated version). Characters talking earnestly to the audience about blowjobs, domination, anal penetration, one-night stands, and the difference between sex and love. Lots and lots of alcohol consumption in a cavernous, neon-lit club. A bloody fistfight. The plot, to the degree there is one, concerns an accusation of rape, which is shown from his-and-her points of view. People similar to these characters probably do exist in real life, but there's no reason to make a movie about them. Everyone involved in making Body Shots should have to do 100 hours of community service to make up for the time they've stolen from viewers' lives. The script and direction are particularly banal and self-important. Vacuous. --Bret Fetzer

Average Rating: 
Rating: - A film that nicely explores sex in the late nineties
Body Shots is a film that should have been promoted more and seen by more people. The film has sharp dialouge, smooth wit and Tara Reid nude. David McKenna has written another good script which is his follow up to Amercian History X and the cast of up and comers are all good. Ron Livingston as Trent makes the movie as Trent with his one-liners and further more we get to see Tara Reid show her goods.
Rating:  - So very, very bad.
Body Shots (Michael Cristofer, 1999)
This refrain is getting old, so I'm pretty sure you can sing it with me now: this could've been a good movie, but...
Well, okay, I'm not entirely sure this could ever have been a good movie. We'll probably never know, given that the twisted, uncomfortable mess that we got is probably not on anyone's remake slate in the foreseeable future. Nor should it be. While the main story seems to revolve around the question of whether a famous football ... Read More
Rating: - If you can figure out what this film is about you might be alone
If "Body Shots" did not start with scenes of a young woman bruised and bleeding, obviously the victim of a sexual assault, the abrupt shift that this 1999 movie takes would have been similar to those who went to see "Million Dollar Baby" thinking it was just a boxing film. Indeed, even having been shown what is going to happen to one of these characters and knowing that we are seeing the events that lead up to the incident it is easy to forget that is what lies ahead in the first half of "Body Shots," which ...

Rating: - Is it that Tara Reid getting raped is not important? It is!!
Well, if you have only watched 10 minutes of this movie, I will just let you know now that Tara Reid driving around in the Mercedes in the rain, with the cut on her forehead claiming to have been raped is about as far as this movie went to describe what happened. If you think you are going to get the answer to this controversial question------GUESS AGAIN.
That's all I have to say, and that the movie drags on and on.
P.S. Tara Reid got me to see the movie because I think she's really great---otherwise ... Read More
Rating:  - Dream come true
The plot? Where? Tara Reid nude? Worth every penny! I recommend for that scene alone!
