In this darkly comic tale of love and infidelity, Carla (Heather Graham) and Lou (Natasha Gregson Wagner) are both waiting outside an brownstone in Soho and happen to strike up a conversation. It seems both of them are waiting to meet their respective boyfriends, and as they discuss the bright, funny, romantic and monogamous men they've been lucky enough to become involved with, they make a surprising discovery -- they're both waiting for the same man, Blake (Robert Downey Jr.), an actor, musician and compulsive womanizer. As they compare notes on the man they've been unknowingly sharing and what they should do about the situation, Blake arrives and quickly starts trying to talk his way out of the disastrous situation. Writer and director James Toback claims he was inspired to write this project for Robert Downey Jr. after seeing a news report showing him in jail after violating parole regarding an arrest for drugs; Two Girls and a Guy was written in four days and shot in eleven days on a single set, and features excellent performances from Downey, Heather Graham, and Natasha Gregson Wagner. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

The DVD release of this little-seen James Toback film should please fans of the film, while perhaps wooing some new ones. The picture is a solid-looking 1.85:1 transfer that makes good use of the posh New York locales. The sound won't matter much in a measured, quiet film like this, but the Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack is still welcome. Extras are fairly sparse: a commentary from Toback and stars Robert Downey Jr. and Natasha Gregson Wagner, as well as a trailer. The commentary is informative and offers a great look at the making of the film. Also included are a handful of trailers for other 20th Century Fox releases. ~ Jeremy Brown, All Movie Guide
