important topic, but bad movie

It is a shame that a movie that raises important issues fails to be serious (or even comic), and almost trivializes the subject.Questions the Film Raises What is "enough" in a relationship? At what point does wanting more (more sex, more adventure, more novelty) become unrealistic or unfair, given practical day-to-day life?Authenticity vs performance in sex & romance: When couples try to stage sex to feel sexy (open door, loud, novel settings, drugs) - are they chasing a fantasy or returning to something more authentic?How do past selves matter? Does desire for what one was before (younger, more spontaneous) help or hurt current relationships? How to integrate who one was with who one is now?Communication vs embarrassment / shame: The film points to the idea that many people give up talking about sex or intimacy because it feels awkward, shameful, or performance-based. How much of revitalizing a relationship is about allowing awkwardness, admitting what has changed, and being willing to fail?Societal expectations about sexual desire in marriage and parenthood: The film engages with (but doesn't deeply critique) the expectation that married parents should still have performance-level sexual lives, or that sex must be exciting all the time. What if removing those expectations is part of finding peace?All these are of course serious questions but the movie does not want to cope with and this is a shame.

Let's talk about ...

Although actions say more than words, no? Well no pun intended either way. Also this could have done with a bit more seasoning (salt and pepper and all that). There are some very funny scenes (and both main actors are really good), but then you have scenes like the one in the sex club (or swinger or whatever) ... and it feels like it is a completely different, way lesser movie.That all said, if you like the main characters (which is quite possible, see acting again) or some of the side characters, especially the co worker of the male protagonist), you may be able to overlook the flaws this has - especially in the comedy department! Which seems a strange thing to say for a comedy ... anyway, this is a decent comedy ... just suspend your disbelief and don't expect too much!

a good movie

Once in a while you just get to have the opportunity to watch a completely random movie, due to being forced to watch it on a flight, just tuning in by coincidence on tv or just clicking blindfolded on netflix.This is one of those movies, it is unknown without any real marketing behind it.First lets start with the positives. It has a very interesting premise, it is about the sexual exploration of a middle aged couple who have troubles connecting in bed. The characters themselves on a template are interesting, you have the extrovert wife who is desperately trying everything to liven up the lackluster sex life by putting her husband in all sorts of perverted situations, you have the introvert husband who has all the wrong neurosis preventing him from reaching climax. Even the side characters are interesting on paper, you have the nerdy awkward but seductive husbands coworker who has a buddy-buddy relationship with him and the old childhood sweetheart of the wife who openly embarasses himself by being way too agressive with his advances on her.It is funny, it is interesting on paper. Heck the movie is even very well shot and lit. Thing is, the actors are just terrible.Or would i rather say, they would be very passable at a high school play. But when actors can only perform at that level on a production that was obviously over a million in budget it sticks out like a sour thumb. The dialogue is pretty subpar as well but it does not stick out as much as the actors.
