Review: Spread

God, is it uncomfortable
By SARA FAITH ALTERMAN  |  August 19, 2009

If only there were some way to watch a con-artist houseboy give his cougar sugar mama a squirming reach-around, charm the pants off a candy-necklace string of countless empty-eyed Hollywood stick figures, lose his heart to an untouchable social chameleon, and, in the process, find himself. If only Ashton Kutcher would flaunt his bare ass, lather and shave some pussy, and feign his way through the cheapest American Gigolo ripoff since, well, American Gigolo.  

WATCHAshton Kutcher's Skype interview

If only . . . wait! There is! It's David Mackenzie's Spread. And God, is it uncomfortable!

Kutcher swaggers his way through this fuckfest suckfest as Nikki, a broke but synthetically charming Hef wanna-be who preys on rich old maids. Enter Anne Heche, whose attorney Samantha is so desperate to cling to her youth — and her youthful suitor — that she shells out for a vagina tuck. Yum! When Nikki meets his match in equally conniving waitress Heather (Margarita Levieva), he falls in love, only to find that being on the receiving end of a bedroom Ponzi scheme blows harder than an aspiring actress from Michigan.

  •   NORTHERN EXPOSURE  |  July 29, 2009
    While New York is grittier, Los Angeles juicier, and Boston is wicked smahter, for some odd reason it is Montreal that, for two weeks every summer, becomes the epicenter of the comedy universe.
  •   JUST FOR LAUGHS  |  July 27, 2009
    Blogs, Tweets, and comedy video direct from moose country
  •   BEAT THE TWEET  |  July 22, 2009
    Warm weather is supposed to be accessorized by lackaday, by a breezy sensibility best enjoyed with a frosty tall boy in one hand, the sloppy product of a back-yard barbecue in the other. Instead, I find myself struggling to balance my beer between my knees and my overstocked paper plate on my thigh as I furiously poke at my BlackBerry.
  •   INTERVIEW: KRISTEN SCHAAL  |  June 24, 2009
    Writing a book about romance with her boyfriend, Schaal says, "is kind of killing our romance a little bit, because you stay up late to write the book, and then you're too tired to get it on."
