With talent like Zachary Quinto, Lukas Gage, Judith Light, and Audra. McDonald, I figured this film had to have something going for it. Plus the trailer was fun and the plot seemed promising (and the house in the movie's gorgeous). But, no. It's now clear why the movie went direct-to-video.
But why would such talented people agree to perform in such nonsense? Did they not read the script?
Almost every plot development and so much of the dialogue thumbs its nose at credibility. Totally cringe.
It's too bad. There are a few funny moment and snappy lines-even a few decent dramatic moments. And the cast has good chemistry.
Really, a talented screenwriter needed to extract the good stuff from this mess and totally rewrite it. And a much smarter director needed to take control. There really is some potential buried in there somewhere.

Enjoyed the first half of this. A lot of fun, great chemistry, fun performances. Zachary Quinto's turn as a sexually repressed guy goes a little stale. Lukas Gage's character starts to feel a little one-note as well. Judith Light is wonderful as always. And a fun cameo by Simon Rex. Then it takes a darker turn that suddenly feels a lot less funny, if not disturbing. The movie had created a nice reality bubble that was fun to experience. Until, damn, it gets dark. Then suddenly we're out of that bubble into a world that features Audra McDonald, whose fierce realness feels completely at odds with the rest of the movie. I was totally willing to suspend disbelief and go along for the ride for the first half, but it asked too much at the end. From laughter to what the f-- in 90 minutes. Can't really recommend.
I can't believe it has such a low rating! Yes, it's not for everyone as any other movie. If you don't get it, it doesn't mean it's a bad.
Honestly, it's such a great and fresh indie take on old school dramedy, very rare genre nowadays.
You may like it or not but you will be definitely surprised but it's all twists. 100% must. At least I have reccomended it to all my friends.
I also wanted to mention that the whole casting from the main characters to not the lead ones is just brilliant.
Thank you so much for this almost 2 hours entertainment that distracted from this tough reality we are facing these days.

Movies are supposed to entertain you and this one did!! I usually get bored with something because they use the same old formula that's been around forever but no this one surprised me and most importantly made me laugh! I laughed so hard and was so glad watched this. I thought the whole thing was hilarious. I also loved the young and older bounce back and forth between these two. I was loving the relationship they were forming in one night! I actually thought he would leave the house to Cameron. I think the romance was there and I just loved it. Yes there is violence and they should have left that part out of the script but other than that I liked it. The whole beginning was realistic and then it became hilarious. I highly recommend.
Boy was this refreshing. Everyone did such a good job and it's good to see some fresh faces. Zachary and Judith you did an amazing job, and this new guy Lukas is amazing. It was a little bit sick and twisted, but it was enjoyable and it was entertaining and it was fresh and it was original. There's so many boring scripts out there.
I wish there were more movies like this available. It deviates so much from the standard trope.
The acting was really impeccable. I'm not sure who the writer was, but they did a really good job, and the scenery was great, and I like the whole psychological element behind everything.
Good job, everyone.
