SPREAD reviewed, in bomb-diggitty fashion...

^ Sez review: 'The new Ashton Kutcher-as-gigolo flick "Spread," its title evoking images of splayed-open legs, wants to be taken seriously. If the actor-ly, urban cowboy growl that Kutcher affects didn't clue you in, the movie itself lets you know this over and over with its forced narrative parallelism, its aping of iconic shots from "The Graduate" and its copious, pelvis-grinding nudity which, you know, is totally a sign of how modern and gritty and real and deep it is.'

Makes an interesting Bret Easton Ellis comparison too, actually. Overall, though, sounds like it's all the sex/nudity...
