Plot summary

The plot begins with Christina Walters (Diaz) and Courtney Rockcliffe (Applegate), all-around party girls, attempting to ease their roommate Jane Burns (Blair) relationship-induced depression by taking her on a girls' night out. During that evening Walters meets Peter Donahue and falls for him. However, having missed her chance that evening, Walters and Rockcliffe spend the rest of the movie chasing him down.

The film uses mostly physical and crude gags as its source of humor. One memorable scene finds the lead characters dissuading a man's amorous attention by singing a song about his genitals: "You're...too big to fit in here! My body is a movie and your penis is the star!" Possibly the most memorable scene is when Christina tries to pick up her things while Courtney is driving, which leads a biker to think Christina is performing oral sex on Courtney while she pretends to make orgasmic noises.
