Plot 411: After a bad break up, Matt decides to become celibate for Lent.
Review: Matt (Josh Hartnett) decides to give up sex for Lent because he's become obsessed with his ex-girlfriend Nicole (Vinessa Shaw) who is about to get married. But when his roommate and co-worker Ryan (Paulo Costanzo) finds out, he starts a website for betting how long Matt will last. As more and more people find out about the bet, the pot increases. This leads to seduction attempts by various women in the office that threaten Matt's vow. Another challenge comes in a girl named Erica (Shannyn Sossamon), who he meets at the laundromat. Overall, it's a stupid premise and not really worth watching. The fact that there's an office pool is kind of entertaining, but the rest of the jokes are lame and not even really unique. I don't think I even have anything else to say about this one. It's probably a movie that was capitalizing on Hartnett's popularity at the time. He had just done Pearl Harbor, O and Black Hawk Down the year before so he got a shot at playing the leading man.
Watch It: If you're from the Bay Area and have moved away. This movie was filmed in Potrero Hill.
Skip It: If you don't fit the description above.
