When eight men and women in their early-to-mid-20s head out for a night on the town, hopping from one Los Angeles club to the next, not everything goes as planned as they discover the joys and perils of dating at the end of the 20th Century. Body Shots shifts among the perspectives of its eight characters, played by Sean Patrick Flanery, Ron Livingston, Jerry O'Connell, Amanda Peet, Emily Procter, Tara Reid, Brad Rowe, and Sybil Temchen. The film had a number of titles during production, including The Night Before and Jello Shots, the latter of which was reportedly axed to avoid legal problems with the company that makes the gelatin dessert product. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Dan Fienberg, Zap2it.com
Awful performances, idiotic social commentary and one of the worse Rashoman narratives ever take away the pleasures of some raunchy sex scenes.
-
Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com
A lot of hot--and often overheated--air.
-
Brent Simon, Entertainment Today
Fun in small, small doses, yet utterly impersonal. A kind of stupid movie that desperately yearns to be a film.
-
Scott Von Doviak, culturevulture.net
Jello Shots is a much better title for a movie firing such insubstantial ammunition.
-
Jorge Avila Andrade, Moviola
Exceso de diálogos y situaciones sexuales que en muchos casos son totalmente innecesarios y que en otras ocasiones rayan en lo grotesco
