[2] For the Taking (2004)

Dec 31, 2004 1h 45m

Leave it to a bunch of horny men to invent a party game that beats the hell out of the tried-and-true spin-the-bottle game. The plot is simple: midway through a party, eight attractive men drop their car keys into a fishbowl. The four single partygoers have the enviable task of blindly fishing out a set of keys, possibly the keys of one of the coupled men in the room.
