The protagonist: With all his ambiguities and uncertainties, Nikki (Ashton Kutcher) is catapulted in LA to try his luck and envisage a better future there. He already knows the art of seduction to what is believed to be perfection- being tall, elegant and vulpine. He seduces women different from his own milieu. Callous Nikki's actions throughout the movie add a really chilling level of apathy to the character whereas from a technical standpoint, it all changes and one can see the gallantry on his eyes when he flies to New York to bring back the only love of his life, Heather.
The theme: In a sense, Spread can be labeled as the element of unreciprocated love story for after building relationships with so many women (including best friend of his mother's who used to tell him "you are going to be a little hearth-breaker " to Emily to Samantha- Nikki meets Heather, who unbeknownst to him, is playing the same game
The female actresses: In most cases, the female actresses have played their parts brilliantly: Samantha (Anne Heche) on a number of fight scenes with Nikki. Heather (Margarita Levieva) telling Nikki the story of his sick brother or at the end of the movie when Nikki enters the apartment until Heather's husband comes to her final words "Honey, do you have a five for the grocery boy?"
The music: Great music, lucid dialogue, glittering lighting "both the sun's and the candle lights'" and various amorous scenes provide jovial hue to the film that for these qualities alone, I've watched it four times in a row in less than two months.
The shortcomings: Though, on a certain level, the movie has got some minor flaws as well i.e. the dialogue fails to convince us of the authenticity of the situation when Nikki's best friend Harry (Sebastian Stan) ends up their friendship for no particular reason except for Nikki to parody him/himself..? Likewise, in a similar argument scene where Nikki is caught by Samantha while being given a blue job by a regular female friend; that (Nikki's and Samantha's brief argument) cannot either provide enough reason to make the audience believe in the genuineness of the scene.
Except for a fraction of a Times Square scene, the whole movie is filmed in LA. It would have been a more successful one if the makers included occasions such as Christmas or Halloween; just to have provided the movie goers some divergence.
Given all that has been written, to everyone's credit especially Ashton's and David's for they have done it with great verve. An exquisite paean I must admit- well done! If you like comedy romance, go watch this. I'm sure you enjoy it. Bear in mind, it has got several sex scene.
