Plot summary
This 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, driving a Saab 9-5 station wagon.
The film uses mostly physical and crude gags as its source of humor. One memorable scene finds the main characters leading a musical number in a restaurant, the lyrics of which are about how women flatter men by praising the size of their genitals: "You're... too big to fit in here! My body is a movie and your penis is the star!" (This musical number, known as "The Penis Song", was removed from the U.S. theatrical release but remained in the versions shown theatrically in other countries, and was restored for the unrated version of the U.S. video release.
