Summary: I'd love to see the NC-17 version of this movie...
Review: ... if such a thing existed! This was a fun film, and I found it VERY SEXY at times, but like the other reviewer points out, it was really a bit too tame. The casting was excellent, especially Mariel Hemmingway as the uptight wife-turned-aggressive-lesbian! She was HOT! And the other women were also quite attractive and believable in their respective roles! For all its flaws, this was a fun flick well-worth checking out!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Male Fantasy Gone Awry
Review: A husband's fantasy comes true and he gets more than he bargained for. A pretty good film but a bit tiresome by the end. Sexy without nudity. Humorous.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superb!
Review: A movie that an adult in an open relationship can relate to and the man with a bi-sexual girlfriend fantasy can fear.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A new twist on an old fantasy
Review: A new twist on an old fantasy: a husband desires to be in bed with two women (one of whom is his wife). The twist is that the women find more interest in each other than they do in him. What's a husband to do?!?! He has unwittingly unleashed unknown and insatiable desires in his wife. Mariel Hemmingway does an outstanding and convincing job. She had an earlier experience (Personal Best) with a bisexual role. Mike Binder plays the part well by convincing the audience of his initial enthusiasm for the idea, the interim confusion of how it got so out of hand, and the concluding outcome of his fantasy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Let's get the cast "straight"
Review: First of all, contrary to what several other reviewers here have stated or implied, Stephen Baldwin is NOT the husband in this movie. Hello! He plays a friend of the husband. Mariel Hemingway is wonderful as the initially reluctant cohort in her husband's scheme to turn her out. The sex is primarily implied, but the laughs are non-stop.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Mike Binder is a genius.
Review: First, don't watch this movie if you are looking for cheap thrills. Second, if you watched it and didn't like it, you absolutely have no sense of humor.

Mike Binder, (from HBO's Mind of the Married Man), is a modern day observational genius when it comes to the new millennium sexual relationship. Also, he is a fine actor with a recent and perfect portrayal of a criminal in Minority Report. If you have an ideal relationship with your spouse or significant other, you will not appreciate Mr. Binder's brilliance.

I know that I'm not saying much, or anything, about the movie. Any explaination will give too much information away and spoil the surprises. As with anything Binder is involved in, the circumstances and situations are not as simple as they appear. Just like a good Woody Allen film, there is a lot going on just beneath the surface and it takes some effort to figure out some of the paradoxes. It is comedy that takes thought. It is fun enough for everybody and sophisticated enough for the pretentious intellectuals like myself.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Well intended, but quite not there yet!
Review: Here is a comedy, touching on an ever popular fantasy that keeps coming up in people's conversation,or thoughts, from time to time. I liked their agressive style, and the principal actors are doing a good job, and they look good doing whatever they do, but, and this is my but, there seemed to be too many sexual escapades on behalf of the female lead(Mariel Hemingway), but you do not get to be invited to be in the scenes, in most cases is insinuated hapening out of camera range. And without asking for an NC-17 rating version a little less quantity and more tactful presentation on a few would be more my taste. All in all, for the comedic challenge it was a good film.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Started out sexy, ended up preachy
Review: I am always interested in movies that deal with "alternate life styles."

I was not expecting this movie to be pornographic but rather, I was expecting and hoping it would be a witty view of bisexualism, something like "In and Out" which I found smart and witty.

I laughed a great deal at the beginning of the film. The fact that the wife, played by Mariel Hemingway, is a very average kind of woman turned not only insatiable, but insatiable for members of the same sex, is quite amusing. And yes, I got a little turned on by a couple of the sexy scenes.

Where the flick lost me was when her behavior becomes responsible for her husband's loss of business by behaving outrageously toward her lovers during an important luncheon. The scene is clownish, as if we are to understand that when a woman becomes bisexual, she turns into a "Sex Monster," (and the monster has to be controlled).

Why do films about bisexuality and homosexuality always seem to grow into treatises? The messages of the film are clear: Don't "go bi" unless you want to: 1.)alienate your spouse, 2.) be thought of as a "freak." and 3.) ruin everyone's life by making a fool of yourself

I realize that the movie is a comedy but when the melodrama kicks in, and the laughs of the script go out the window, it seems we're left with too many moral messages and just an overall bad taste in our mouths.

Summary: There could be NO other movie to clue men in with!!
Review: I could'nt love this movie enough! Men are so quick to want their fantasy fulfilled yet not prepared for the consequences of what happens next.This flick could change their minds about thinking about it altogether!! Boy, could "someone" relate to this flick!!
