Summary: 5th rate Woody Allen rip off.....
Review: So many things are wrong with this movie--where to begin? Well, first of all, and most importantly, it's a movie about sex, with "sex" in the title, and you don't SEE ANY SEX IN THE ENTIRE FILM!!!... That was a mistake. Second, this guy who's the main character is doing the worst Woody Allen imitation I have ever seen. Worse than Jason Alexander during the first season of Sienfeld! Thirdly, someone thought it would be cool to put old, late 60's Jamaican rocksteady in this movie. No movies have rocksteady in them. I love rocksteady. Why did they have to put it in this movie???!!!... WHY????!!!...

What a waste of great tunes.

....

Peace.

Summary: Worth it just for the soundtrack!
Review: The premise of the movie is what happens when a wife finally gives in and allows another woman into the bedroom with her and her husband. My husband and I saw this about a year ago and we still laugh about it. I'm married to one of those guys who occasionally (and jokingly) submits a request to share our bedroom with an extra woman. Ladies, if your husband or boyfriend is constantly nagging you for this same ridiculous request (either seriously or jokingly), make him watch this movie with you. If he doesn't change his mind, he'll have something to think about before he asks again.

The acting is pretty good, but we're not talking Oscar quality here. It was a cute film. Not too raunchy. No great belly laughs, but continuous giggles throughout the film.

The best component of the movie was the soundtrack. It's fabulous. If anyone knows how I can get my hands on the CD, let me know.

If for no other reason, if you're looking for a slightly sexy, fun movie to watch as a couple, or even with your girlfriends, I highly recommend this film. It was a lot of fun.

Summary: great sex farce
Review: This is a great sex farce. Short sweet and funny. Mariel Hemingway is the best she's been since Manhatten. If you like Albert Brooks, Woody Allen or Gene Wilder you'll like Mike Binder a lot. I can't wait to see what he does next. He has all of the talent to be a great comic. Stephan Baldwin has a great role and Christopher Lawford is a great supporting actor. THis isn't deep or meaningul or super clever, yet for some reason, I've seen it ten times now, and this is one of my favortie comedies. This will be looked on, I think as the first of Mike Binder movies. I love it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A wacky and entertaining sex farce
Review: This low budget sex farce surprised me and turned out to be a madcap and funny comedy. Laura (Mariel Hemingway) and Marty (Mike Binder) are a regular couple with an ordinary sex life. But Marty is obsessed with a fantasy where he and Laura have a threesome with another woman. He goads her semiseriously and when she finally shows some interest, he convinces her to invite over a girl from work who has been coming on to her.

But Marty soon learns that you have to be careful what you wish for. After an initial reluctance, Laura gets into it and finds she likes it. We're talking SERIOUS liking here. Marty is initially ecstatic that his fantasy has been fulfilled, but now that he has opened Pandora's Box (so to speak), he is not prepared for the Sex Monster that emerges. Laura becomes a sex crazed Lesbian nymphomaniac and proceeds to seduce all their female friends. This leads to numerous awkward situations, some zany, some silly and some just downright hilarious.

This film is just rollicking good fun. The sex is mostly implied, so if you were hoping to see Mariel Hemingway or anyone else naked, you are pretty much out of luck. There is a lot of moaning and bed shaking but nothing really provocative other than a couple of girl kissing scenes. But explicit sex isn't what this movie is about. It's about the comedy, and the comedy works, so it is just as well.

This is really the Mike Binder show. He wrote, directed and starred in the film. He didn't really excel in any of these roles, but somehow the whole exceeded the sum of the parts. He gave a generally droll performance which was occasionally terrible but more often comical. He was at his best when he was being tormented by Laura's obsession as he tried desperately to get the sex genie back in the bottle.

Mariel Hemingway was terrific in this film and made it truly funny. This is her second role with a bisexual theme having appeared in the heavy handed 'Personal Best' where she was an athlete who alternated between sleeping with her male coach and a female teammate. Her performance in this part was far better and she turns out to be a much better comedian than dramatic actress. She has a great ability to make humorous use of her 6 foot frame and made the most of the many sight gags in the script.

I rated this movie a 7/10. It doesn't redefine the genre, but it is a wacky sex farce that has more than its share of funny moments. If you are offended by profanity, sexual situations and lesbianism, you definitely want to skip it. But if you like a light hearted and offbeat roll in the hay flick, you'll probably enjoy it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Genius
Review: This movie encapsulates every mans facinations with the opposite sex, while at the same time keeping it funny. Males will love this movie. If you dream of threesomes then this is the movie for you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny movie!
Review: This was a very funny movie and will give you lots to think about! It's a good way to introduce friends (who don't know yet about you being bisexual) to the idea in a fun way. Nothing to dramatic or overdone in the movie. It'll make you laugh throughout the entire movie almost. It's worth adding to your movie collection. :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: comic gold
Review: We just watched this and laughed like fools. We had so much fun. Mike and Mariel are a great team. She is so good in this. He is like a Woody kind of guy and also Brian Benben. He's good on his show on HBO but better here. Rent this or buy it, it's an unknown hit comedy.
