Spread is a 2009 American sex comedy film directed by David Mackenzie and starring Ashton Kutcher and Anne Heche . The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 17, 2009, and was released in North American theaters by Anchor Bay Films on August 14, 2009.

Narcissistic gigolo Nikki lives in Los Angeles, drifting from one relationship to another without a steady job or even a place to live. He preys on women who can provide for him. After meeting Samantha at a club he moves in with her, using his looks and sexual prowess to keep her happy.

Before long, however, Nikki starts cheating on Samantha, first with his friend Emily, then with Christina, whom he met at another party. Emily disapproves of Nikki's free-wheeling lifestyle and has expressed a desire for a relationship, but Nikki has no real interest in her except for her wealth. Samantha catches Nikki with Christina, but they come to an uneasy arrangement where she will ignore his infidelity.

While Samantha is out of town, Nikki meets a waitress named Heather. He enlists his friend Harry to help him get Heather interested, but she does not fall for his charms. Although he eventually gets a date with her, she abandons him midway through the date.

Soon after, Heather unexpectedly shows up in Samantha's pool and they end up having sex. The next morning Nikki is moving Heather's car and realizes it does not belong to her but to her "boyfriend", after she told him she was single. Nikki throws her out in anger. However, he cannot stop thinking about her, and his obsession frustrates Samantha to the point that she gets fed up and throws him out, quickly taking him back. Nikki, however, leaves on his own accord, still enchanted by Heather.

Nikki searches for a place to stay, but has a falling out with Harry, is rejected by Emily, and cannot get into the parties he once did. He runs into Heather at a swanky hotel, and she admits that she was only interested in him as she believed he was rich. It transpires that she is the same as Nikki, scamming rich men for money in the same way he does with women. She lets him move in with her and her stoner roommate Eva and they begin dating, though Heather continues to scam and hustle, with some reluctant assistance from Nikki.

One day, an upset Heather reveals to Nikki that she just broke up with her fiancé because she is in love with Nikki. She further tells him her fiancé's family owns the New York Rangers and that he is who has been paying her bills and living expenses. Nikki, who has also fallen in love with her, is nonetheless angry that she kept her engagement from him, and leaves in a huff. When he returns he only finds a note that says she has left for New York City. At Eva's urging and with Harry paying for the airfare, Nikki follows her.

He finds her at a plush penthouse and begs her to come back to LA with him. She refuses, telling him she cannot afford to let him chase his fantasies while she gets the funds they would need to live. He then proposes to her, but she tells him that she is already married, breaking his heart. Heather says that she cannot get a divorce because she needs a marriage with stability and financial security. Her husband returns home and Heather passes Nikki off as a grocery boy, dismissing him.

Nikki returns to LA, finally seeing that life is worth the struggle, getting an honest job delivering groceries and living with Harry. He delivers groceries to Samantha's house, where they are picked up by the kept man who has replaced Nikki. The ending credits show Nikki feeding a mouse to Harry's African bullfrog .

The film was directed by David Mackenzie , and was produced by Jason Goldberg , Ashton Kutcher , Peter Morgan , and Karyn Spencer (assistant producer). [2] [3]

Anne Heche revealed David Mackenzie would often keep the camera distant so as not to interfere with 'the intimacy of a moment.' "There's one thing that's all one take, from when I walk in and find him [in a sexual act with] another girl, and her leaving, and Nikki and I get into a huge argument, all the way to when I throw him down on the couch and we start having sex. That's all one shot. You're never being told who to feel for or how to feel about it. The camera was literally out the window for that entire thing," Heche said. [4]

Spread received generally negative reviews from critics. At Rotten Tomatoes , based on 59 reviews, the movie rated an aggregate score of 21% positive reviews, noting that, "Despite occasional detours into surprisingly dark territory, Spread overall is an ineffectual celebration of vacuous Los Angeles high life rather than a deconstruction of it." [5]

The film was released on August 14, 2009. At the box office, the film grossed $12,032,983, of which $250,618 was from North America. [1]

Movies are, for many people, a beloved outlet. A treasured respite. A cherished (and much-needed) escape. But sometimes life is stranger than fiction. Scratch that: Sometimes life parallels fiction, and right now proves that point. The COVID-19 outbreak mirrored some of our favorite pandemic movies . And while we hope the coronavirus crisis ends on a more optimistic note—after all, most of the films below are doomsday pieces; they are humanity- and world-ending sort of stories—watching these flicks can be entertaining, particularly during these difficult times.
Here are 20 of our favorite movies about pandemics, viruses, outbreaks, and widespread disease.
One of the most well-known pandemic movies and arguably, the most popular is Outbreak , a mid-90s action thriller about a deadly, Ebola-like virus that is spreading through parts of California and the United States.
Starring: Dustin Hoffman, Rene Russo, and Morgan Freeman Rotten Tomato “Tomatometer” rating: 59% Where to watch: FuboTV, YouTube, iTunes, and Google Play
Made in 2011, Contagion is an exceptionally smart (and scary) disaster movie. Why? Because Contagion is something of a sociological study into what people would do (and how they would behave) if they were faced with a real-life pandemic. Trust us, this one hits close to home.
Starring: Marion Cotillard, Matt Damon , Laurence Fishburne, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Kate Winslet Rotten Tomato “Tomatometer” rating: 85% Where to watch: YouTube, Vudu, iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon Prime

Detective Rothman (as Silvio Oliviero)
Maybe I've seen one too many crime flick, or maybe I don't take the right drugs. This was the most cliché ridden, plot deficient, plot-absurd, just plain stupid movie I have seen in a long time. As for the direction, it looks like it took less time to show this than it did to put it together. In fact it looks like to made it straight to video before it was completed. It's a bad rip off of "M" the classic Fritz Lang film starring Peter Lorre. You'd be SO much better off renting that instead.
