Body Shots is a 1999 American drama film written by David McKenna and directed by Michael Cristofer. It stars Sean Patrick Flanery, Jerry O'Connell, Amanda Peet, Tara Reid and Ron Livingston. It tells the story of eight singles whose night of drunken debauchery goes terribly wrong.

Premise

A group of twenty-somethings are planning on going to a club for a night of fun. The following morning, Sara accuses fellow clubber Mike of date rape. The story of the previous evening is then told through two different points of view, one being how Sara remembers it, and the other how Mike remembers.

Cast

Production

Tara Reid said the only reason she did a nude scene in this movie was because her character was getting raped: "I'd never do a scene where my character takes off her shirt for no reason, for just a little T&A. That's stupid. That's exploiting yourself. I pass on a lot of movies where they want me to do nude stuff where it's not necessary for the role. It makes a film cheesy."[2]

Reception

The film was critically panned. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 11% based on reviews from 28 critics.[3] On Metacritic the film has a score of 36% based on reviews from 29 critics.[4]
