"Spin the Bottle" is a New York indie feature about three guys and their respective experiences with love. Sam is a gregarious womanizer in search of "The One," who he thinks might just be the French student Eva, while Cole has been agonizing over his ex-girlfriend Devon for a long time, and Zach longs for true love with Hannah. Over the course of a weekend, the three guys make decisions that will affect their lives and relationships with three respective women.
This movie is a solid piece of work all the way around: writing, directing, cinematography, and even acting. The dialogue is crisp, witty, and heartfelt, and the actors portray vulnerability and sweetness as twenty-something New Yorkers. The story strays into sappy territory at points, but manages mercifully to avoid a perfect ending.
"Spin the Bottle" is more worthwhile than many vacuous Hollywood flicks, and the unknown actors give us a chance to really appreciate the story.

I tried to get past the lame plot since this film has a very independent feel to it and I respect independent film makers for their guts. However, this entire movie was racked with the worst acting I have seen in a long time. I had to come to IMDB to see what it's rating was. Let me tell you that 4 stars is way too high. I give it a 1 out of 10. If you are an actor trying to make your way in the world, rent this movie and learn what NOT TO DO!! HORRIBLE!
