    irritating

    I only watched five minutes of this video. I found the characters so annoying I wanted to smash up my TV set and throw my video out of the window. Fortunately I just turned it off instead.

    The characters were shallow, irritating, grinning middle class imbeciles not because they were well-drawn to be those things but because they were the feeble creations of this straight-to-video disaster.

    Completely unfair criticism, I know, but I thought it might help anyone else who finds Friends unwatchable to avoid watching this.

    Too much of the same

    The film is still too long, you see always the same. If you want an erotic film, don't spend your money on it. It has a rather good story.

    Not too bad

    First I thought this is so ridiculous and embarrassing to watch, but I watched it anyway. Actually I would consider this movie interesting and realistic even though none of the couples were pleased with the idea of changing their partners and I think that could have been one possible result too. Otherwise I think the end had almost all the other possible results of this kind of try. Something between good and bad.

    Modern analysis

    The Big Swap is a new and couragous move from the English movies industry...they explore a new theme...swinging relations...in a good combination of eroticism and marriage-relations analysis...plus....the development of the scenes is logical and very interesting....i recommend it to those interested in the woody allen kind of movies...keep going English cinema...

    Great movie

    This is one of the better things I saw this year. Although lots of people in the theatre disliked the movie, I found The Big Swap a very interesting psychological drama with a good sense of humour. But who am I anyway? :-)
