Don't bother with this film: briefly; this is one of those rare occasions where to save my time and yours; what we have here is two sets of couples that are in two different sections on their relationships, but one member of each couple wants to sleep with the other, so they essentially set up the good members of their partners to potentially sleep together which they do, so the ones that want to sleep together can. I will give you two reasons to watch this film mostly anything to do with Glen [Jack Dee:] he works on this TV program in some capacity and later on Nigel Steele [Stephen Fry:] he is a councillor of some description.

Generally speaking: the script is just woeful, I mean the person that I watch some of this content with an I were pretty much done with this film within this individual's says 2 minutes, I was a bit more generous with 15 minutes. I mean with the framework having this storyteller elements now and again from Fiona Delgrazia [Irène Jacob:] she is the only one out of four that seems genuine, that wants to have a consistent love life of a slightly higher drive, let's just say you wouldn't have to ask if tonight she wanted to do something sexual because 9 times out of 10, she will say yes and she goes on to write a book. But the framework and pacing of this 87 minutes long is dawdling and how could I forget the giant time jumps of back 1 year, then sometime later forward 2 years and then back 1 year [ these time jumps all appear on screen in some text.]

Comedy and action; well we have one sequence of Glen essentially being Jack Dee: as he gives a monologue to get away on top of that we see what he is actually talking about in this sequence of events. You see if you know anything about Dee this is very much in the style of his stand-up comedian monologue storyteller routines as usual he is really unhappy with how things went down and then again having Stephen Fry as Nigel Steele: even though even as a councillor, but before anything else a British person talking about sex is not a done thing and this whole outlay. I mean the other comedy element am now going to bring up I get it, but after the first time it wasn't particularly funny and I like dark comedy so I am just saying in this particular situation with everything else it just isn't funny of essentially beating someone up after having a few drinks to let off some steam is essentially it.

Character developments and performances; well I have already touched on in some way or another in this content, so from that you can already tell there are some good and some okay and some poor: basically if this is what they were going for they hit the jackpot repeatedly.

This film receives: 1/10, this film is poor; now I should explain usually I would give another mark based on there are some positives to the project, but the negatives are so bad that it is a counterbalance situation.
