Just a Little Harmless Sex (1999)

Details Rated: R; Genres: Comedy, Drama

Eastwood's husband (Robert Mailhouse) gets caught with a hooker, setting off an ensemble gender war in Just a Little Harmless Sex. The repentant hubby seeks refuge with buddies, giving Silverman ample opportunity to wail about men and monogamy. Meanwhile, Eastwood and friends talk of love and vibrators. And both camps chatter endlessly about how different men and women are. The dialogue can be clever — but the subject should just be closed.
REEL GOODIES (0:42) Lauren Hutton, as Eastwood's mom, offers a thankfully blunt explanation of why women don't like to be cheated on.
THE LAST DETAILMailhouse, who moonlights as the drummer for Keanu Reeves' rock band, Dogstar, can also be spotted in the elevator scene in Speed.
