Sex Couch - 10 Regeln fürs Fremdgehen

I am not sure why this has such a low rating on here. Probably because polyamory is such a touchy topic. But this is a very smart and funny movie. It is above average and deserves more than such a low rating.

This film begins with an attractive young woman named "Cameron Johnson" (Virginia Williams) asking her good friend "Kate Oliver" (Tammin Sursok) for permission to use her summer house in the Hamptons for the weekend. When Kate asks her what her plans are Cameron reveals that she has a date she would like to spend some time with. This shocks Kate because she knows that Cameron is married. It's then that Cameron tells her that she and her husband "Vince Johnson" (Jesse Bradford) have an arraignment where they are allowed to sleep around with strangers as long as they follow 10 basic rules. As it so happens, at that exact same moment, Vince is also telling Kate's boyfriend "Ben Roberts" (Chris Marquette) about their arraignment and encourages him to expand his horizons by asking Kate to allow another woman to join Ben and her in a threesome. However, when Ben does ask he is totally unprepared for Kate's response. For that matter, none of them are fully prepared for the pandemonium they unleash when they all try to fulfill their desires. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that there were some absolutely hilarious scenes in this film. Unfortunately, on more than a few occasions the director (Leslie Grief) wasn't apparently satisfied with that and kept pushing the envelope much too far--and by doing so he often turned a humorous scene into something that was quite vulgar and distasteful. That being said, I'm not sure if he was trying to make a statement or not but the end result wasn't something I particularly cared for and for that reason I have rated this film accordingly. Below average.

I bought the dvd when my local dvd store had a closing down sale, and the $4 I spent on it was wasted. It started off with a lot of potential, a simple plot about how different couples spice up a relationship but as it progressed the plot got harder to follow.

It was unclear by the middle what these characters were trying to do, everyone was running around either naked or in their underwear for no other reason than trying for a cheap laugh.

They plot relied heavily on the concept of 'its not what it looks like' but without even explaining to the audience what is actually was.

Poor effort and actors wasted

Sometimes a movie is trying to be a lot smarter than it actually is. And then sillier (funnier) than it actually is. Now the actors here do try their best (one you may know from Modern Family, others from other stuff), but it never is really enough to push this past a certain mark.

I wish I was able to enjoy this more and I'm happy for anyone who could love this and had fun with it. Not joking and not meant condescending in any way. Anyone who can and has fun with something that is a win for that individual. I just want to point out that the likelihood of this movie being able to achieve this for you, is small to say the least. Then again by me lowering the bar, that might actually help you ...

Yes, the other reviews saying that it's weird are correct. But that's what makes it interesting to watch. It ties together really well. Very unique film with many funny scenes. If anyone here gets sensitive about things and can't take a joke then don't watch it. The characters do a very well job acting their parts. I and my friend watched it together and could not stop laughing!
