What Other Couples Do

Kind of a different theme.

Until this movie I don't recall ever hearing of 7 minutes in Heaven before.

For such a low budget, I think this movie holds up real well. Acting was not bad.

Storyline was carrying but not riveting.

Watching the credits it seems there has to have been well over one hundred people who put this film together.

With an estimated budget of $50k I'm astounded how little pay everyone must have made.

Anyone know if this was ever at the theaters or dvd or straight to TV?

What a charming film What Other Couples Do is. I watched this film on Amazon Video and knew nothing about it beforehand but pressed play anyways. Four Couples attend a dinner party and whilst the plot summary does talk about them all playing "Seven Minutes In Heaven' (a kissing in a cupboard game) The film is actually more about us observing the couples not only interact with the other couples, but its also about watching them interact with themselves. Anyone who is in a relationship will be able to see themselves in some or one of these couples. So if you are feeling like you need to make some changes in your life or just sort your brain out. What Other Couples Do is a great indie film that will give you food for thought. It also kind of works as a grown up version of The Breakfast Club. A set of people all in a single place for a given time and will they learn any lessons or come out worse than they were before they entered? Great film!

Definitely an attractive cast. Too bad the dialogue is horrendous. There are times when things get rolling all right then some couple lapses into an absolutely inane discussion or argument that defies any conceibable logic. I like movies that are driven by dialogue between friends in one location but it's a tricky business. For some reason all the men are petty or outright insulting idiots and the women are craving more. The portrayals are absurd and unfortunately. So are the scenarior. The game itself was a good idea and twist and probided some moments of genuine emotion and levity. But overall it failed. I made it to the end. I actually watched it twice as movies of this type require that so nothing gets missed. Twenty minutes could have easily been trimmed off of this.

If possible, the obvious 0 chemistry between any of the actors is made worse by their stuffy, dull scripts and lack of talent.

Feels very awkward the whole way through... Like a parody of every rom com but without any genuinely funny moments.

Don't waste your hours on this one.

This was a gem of a film. I laughed at the snarky script, the couples felt real and their problems were relatable. Unique premise with a kissing game for couples in their mid 30s being a catalyst to real soul searching realizations. Shot beautifully, great soundtrack and the actors were wonderful. Will watch again!
