A Breast Above the Rest
Added 8/25/2008
This is a fun film, featuring some quick, snappy writing. If you love films that span the decades and include plenty of pop culture spin, while based in some fact (even if it takes some liberties now and then) ie. think a la "Boogie Nights" and "The People V.S. Larry Flynt," you'll like this film.
Great production values and David Schwimmer is fun in this feature film breakout role as he was preparing for his post-"Friends" career. Chris Cooper is a stellar standout, as usual.
Of course, it goes without saying, be aware there's lots of above the waist female nudity.

Look underneath the cheese and find a good movie
Added 3/23/2008
I really liked this movie, although when I saw it in my TV schedule listed to be shown at 2am in the morning I thought it would be a tacky B-rated sex movie aimed at teenage boys.
Due to its unfortunate tacky title and the timeslot it achieved it was an easy misconception to make. In fact there were only two things holding my interest, David Schwimmer from Friends was in it and I needed a half decent show to keep me company while I was up at that hour on my computer.
Breast Men is marketed as a dark comedy, but I found it to be an enlightening, serious and informative biographic drama about the evolution and the pros and cons of breast implants.
Based loosely on true events Breast Men also follows the lives of the doctors involved, the roles they played in introducing the implants to women and the effect the popularity of them had on their lives and the lives of the women who received them.
David Schwimmer started out as being a little "Rossy" but as the movie progressed he transformed to be totally believable as Dr. Kevin Saunders, one of the doctors who improved the design of the silicone breast implant, consequently turning it into a multi million dollar industry.
So I'm at my computer desk manoeuvring my mouse pointer around the screen and watching the TV which is positioned so I can keep one eye on it while still working on my computer when suddenly a naked female torso appears on the screen and it's talking!
This is where the movie falls down... for its critics because at first sight it is so shocking.
My attention is totally on the TV now and I'm feeling offended and objectified because the movie makers have taken away the women's identity by cutting off their heads and reducing them to a breast exposed, talking torso. I'm thinking "this has got to be the ultimate in female sexual exploitation, what man is going to hear these torsos or take them seriously when their breasts are sticking out of the TV screen?"
Then I got over it and started to listen to what the torsos were actually saying and they were making sense.
It may be inconceivable to believe but the person who thought of the bare talking torsos is a creative genius, because it took sheer artistic brilliance to come up with the idea and guts to take the risk of portraying women in that way.
Guts because of the negative way it could be interpreted (eg. my initial reaction) and artistic
brilliance because each torso doesn't describe the situation of one woman but of many women in common situations. Each torso represents a different group of women.
That's the reason they have no heads because it's not the voice of one woman talking, but the voices of many. Think about it. What other way could of been used to express the point of view of so many women in such a short space of time and if the torsos had not been naked how else could the women's situations have been illustrated so easily?
This is a totally under rated movie that deserved a better timeslot. Don't let the cheesy marketing put you off, it`s a good movie. What makes it good is that it's bold, entertaining and dares to be different while still getting its message across in a truly unique way.
I would recommend Breast Men to any woman thinking of getting breast implants and to any man who is trying to convince his partner get them. Or if you are just interested in historical dramas this one is an interesting and thought provoking one to watch.
