He slept with two different Marinas, so which scene are you even talking about? In the bar, it was Barbara, then Anna. The second Marina was at that agency party, while the first Marina was with him at some cafe right at the beginning.
If he hadn't hooked up with the second one, there wouldn't have been a fight, and without the fight, there’s no rest of the movie, so 😁

Yeah, way too much snorting, way too many bicycles—and I honestly don't get how a guy who spends most of the film mentally unstable, high, drunk, desperate, and beaten to a pulp in the first third can somehow manage to score with all four of them in just four days—and on demand, too (well, okay, one girl complained he wasn't up to it). As soon as they lay eyes on him, they lose it within a minute, regardless of whether they're exes, ex-exes, or people who just met him.
Is this just some universal male fantasy—that no matter what kind of state a guy is in, every woman wearing a skirt just spontaneously loses control?

Surely someone actually watched this...

The movie has already picked up an award or something. Regardless, it’s a fun ride, and I honestly applaud any American production that isn't some gritty war drama or a heavy social commentary about rural poverty and the general pointlessness of existence.

SPOILER ALERT!!!

There are plenty of funny moments, though some parts feel forced. To be honest, the scenes featuring Natalie Portman (by far the worst part) feel like they were ripped straight out of a soap opera—way too much unnecessary psychologizing and digging into why the protagonist is having a breakdown. Plus, there are these overly exaggerated situations where he just ruins everything in sight during those few days the film covers, even when he's beaten up, bloody, broken, drunk, or high... It feels like the screenwriter, the director, or both couldn't decide if they wanted to make a comedy or tackle heavy themes like drug abuse or toxic father-son dynamics—and then they try to resolve those deep issues with just one quick gesture and two or three lines of dialogue. Everything feels rushed, messy, and indecisive.
If you ask me, I would have leaned harder into the comedy and the absurdity, while avoiding clunky dialogues like "I started seeing a psychiatrist because of you when I was fifteen."

Still, if you just turn your brain off, it works perfectly fine as mindless entertainment.
