3. Larry
only because he always just lets out whatever is in his mind... he is the least restrained... nasty, but probably the "most" "honest"

Although she is overtly capable of shutting her feelings off, I feel she was justified in doing so, and also seemed to be more victimized than the other three...

But now that I review the movie in my head, at the end of the movie it turns out she was lying about who she was the whole time, so dammit, I don't know.

On edit, I was going to say that Larry is not the right choice, he is a sex addict asshole, but at least he was the most honest throughout the film. Good point.

10. yup...
that was my point... Larry is an asshole, but at least he is up front about it & admits it... everything with him is forthright, twisted as it may be... imo

Simply because she's the only one who never cheats on her significant other.

She may have created a false identity for herself, but she is loyal and faithful to whomever she is with.

15. I thought it was excellent also
Oddly, I rented it with a couple of other movies that were supposed to be really good.

I was least excited about Closer, but it was far and away my favorite of the three.

The dialogue was really tight, and Nichols didn't make it seem like a filmed version of a play. (One of his great skills -- Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Angels in America, etc.)
