... with a sex partner the likes of a Jessica Dawn Willis, if you're having problems in the bedroom, 99 out of a 100 problem's you, and you're in dire need of a shrink (or Viagra, or both)
... acting comically can be difficult, in this movie they both are making looking at them difficult... nothing's funny or enjoyable watching, and for the entire time you just want it to be over
... rated little over a four on IMDb, that's about right... so Trunkfish wasn't to work for her, really would like to see JDW in something else to see if it's just that she hasn't any talent, cause she is definitely alluring-appearing-otherwise.

Its everything that made American Beauty creepy without anything that made it redeemable. Poor script leads to poor ending that I'm not sure what I'm supposed to think about leads to a poor movie. Poor acting by most involved, but Dennis and Katherine do good jobs and I guess you can say that if anything makes this movie worth watching its them.
I like finding indies to watch and a lot of the time they turn out really great but other than a couple of decent moments this was silly and a bit of a letdown after seeing the user reviews.

But the rest is like a 1001 tips for the sex-bored couples out there. so if you tune your vibes on with a sexy undertone you will like this. i laughed ,i smirked, i agreed alot and also disagreed alot. but youll see the sign yourself if your 20+ years marriage, and will see them then all young hunkers out there.
great acted, not one boring moment, far too much honesty and an extreme dose of deflattering dehumbled shamefullness that makes you wanna crawl into your skin in modesty of the human kind, the deanimalized sexual version of the mankind of today. the grumpy old man that still growls to my better half recommends. its tantalizing and invigorating ...and sexual.

If you're hunting for an indie drama that aims for American Beauty but ends up feeling like a cheap float left too long in the sun, welcome to Trunkfish. Directed and written by John Kviklys, the film clocks in at a brisk 82 minutes. What works: its ambition and occasional glimmers of dark comedy. Some Letterboxd fans praised "very convincing lead performances" and described it as a "fine indie movie resting on lead work." But here's the catch: style over substance. The wife is attractive and plays her role well, but her chemistry with her husband? It's like they're from different casting calls. He might remind you of a Temu-quality Steve Buscemi clone-goofy eyes, awkward charm, but no spark. Together, they come off less like a real couple and more like roommates thrown together in a Craigslist comedy. The premise dips into suburban ennui, porn obsession, fantasy therapy boxes, and a teenage neighbor, but it never surfaces into anything deeper. Instead it swims in familiar waters and fails to make waves, wrapping up more like a curiosity you'd snag at the $1 bin at Walmart. If you want edgy, uncomfortable territory-cuckolding, obsession, moral collapse-it delivers, and some viewers called it a "dark comedy cum morality tale". But it lacks the resonance of better films in the genre. Final take: Trunkfish is polite in trying, occasionally interesting in its discomfort, but far too shallow to hit the depths it seeks. Still, at a lean 82 minutes, it's not painful-just a quirky indie misfire that leaves you thinking: "Well, cheaper than therapy... and definitely cheaper than dinner and a movie.

- TriviaThough credited in the film as a 2nd Assistant Director, Mitch McLeod was actually the 1st Assistant Director on the film. Director John Kviklys was struggling to direct an intense scene between his two actors, at which point McLeod was asked to step in to direct the scene. This caused contention between McLeod and Kviklys which, in turn, caused contention between McLeod and producer Timothy Talbott. Of the many results of this falling out, McLeod's improper credit in the film was one of them.
