The story is pretty simple and the plot has a few holes, but it is not what the movie is all about.<\/p>\n<p>The movie is about having lots of fun and sex related jokes with three hot chicks.  Some of the jokes are classy, some new.  All of them are told pretty much as separate sequences &#8211; each can be viewed separately.  Great acting and charm of  Cameron, Christina and Selma really helps the situation.<\/p>\n<p>The film is without any ambition and does not pretend to be anything serious.  It just provides good entertainment and helps to kill some time and keep a smile on one&#8217;s face.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>Once in a while I still get a chance to watch a movie.
