Simply A Masterpiece

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The subject of sex addiction is a new one, at least in indie filmmaking, and it was terribly explored in the 2012 film "Thanks for Sharing." With a much funnier cast assembled, and a solid screenplay to boot, the romantic coupling of Jason Suidekis and Alison Brie is one of the best in recent years. Much of the film's success is owed to writer and director Leslye Headland, who also helmed the 2012 comedy "Bachelorette." The film is produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, who have been taking more chances on obscure indie comedies. Though this isn't the best rom-com of last year it has flawless chemistry between its leads and includes bawdy humor that impresses and intrigues.The film starts in much the same way as "When Harry Met Sally," with Lainey (Brie) meeting Jake (Sudeikis) in a dorm hallway, where Lainey is pounding on someone's door. It turns out that she is trying to find her TA (Scott) to lose her virginity to. Jake and Lainey end up having one night stand, and don't see each other until they meet at a Love Addicts group in New York. Not wanting to risk any new relationships on having a sexual fling, they become platonic friends who give each other advice on their dating lives. Lainey apparently did meet up with that TA, and he is now a married man with a baby on the way. Jake is newly obsessed with his current boss, played by Amanda Peet. The problems of the characters aren't anything new, but their chemistry and constant support of one another make the film both introspective and endearingly funny.Like in "Thanks for Sharing," sex addiction doesn't actually get explored as well as it could. In that film we follow three different couples all grappling with sex addiction, and each story isn't given enough time to be explored, which makes the film meandering and needless. This film kind of peters out on its main theme (though it's about love addiction not sex addiction) immediately, in order to explore the characters and really focus on their relationship rather than making this a social issue film. Love addiction doesn't seem like it makes sense as the film's major theme, because Jake doesn't seem to love anyone but himself, and Lainey cheats on her only love interest.The film stresses that these two people have not had any healthy relationships since their one night stand thirteen years prior. While it's admirable to include love, or sex addiction, as your theme, it's not needed here. These two people are complex and funny without the need for adding contemporary themes and complicating the plot.

A romance comedy that begins with two people meeting in an unusual circumstance during their college year. Later the story moves forward to the present where their life status was revealed, particularly romantic life and relationship issues. This story seems familiar, but the filmmakers tried narrate it as much as possible from a new angle. So the majority of us know how it all ends, yet watching how the film is to reveal to us all those contents is not quite bad.This is a different kind of romance film than I thought. There're more about sex than being romantic or emotional. But still nice film with some good performances and length of the film was also good with decent pace. Both the lead actors were quite interesting. They're not as popular as those we see regularly in this kind of theme, but their roles were justified with their fine efforts.The first half was okay type, but the next half, particularly the last half an hour makes the film at its best. Whatever the opening was, but it ends well. It is not a greatest love story ever told, still enjoyable one. You can blame many things and/or scenes of it, but it entertains on its own way. So I think some people would consider it a good film, but most won't. For me it is an average, maybe a slightly above that. The film is not worth suggesting, even though not a waste of time.6/10

You think you know exactly what this movie is going to be like, but it definitely manages to surprise you.It is an amazingly written story. The characters are weird and awkward at times, but in the most endearing way.There were some lines in this movie that were absolutely profound and they almost shocked you with the level of sincerity. There's plenty of laughter and plenty of over the top sex scenes (if that's your thing), but also plenty of real moments where you identify completely with the characters.Production wise I assume everything was great. I didn't anything out of order, but I didn't notice anything special either because I was completely caught up in the story. They say the best cinematography and sound is completely unnoticeable because it fits the story like a glove.I really enjoyed it a lot. It was surprising, which is not often the case in this genre.

This film tells the story of a man and  a woman, who meet each other again after spending one night together twelve years ago. They form a strictly non physical relationship, yet it's full of chemistry and sexual tension."Sleeping with Other People" is a predictable romantic comedy, the kind that you know who will end up with who in the first five minutes. To fill up the screen time, the story is winding. I find myself wondering constantly when they will just get down and just get it done with! The story is  a bit slow, fortunately the couple is quite sweet, which makes them pleasant to watch. Overall, it's a film to pass time mindlessly, and I'm likely to forget about it soon.
