Storyline Young couples experiment with anonymous group sex as a way to revitalize their troubled relationships. Through the experience they are forced to rethink the rudiments of a successful relationship: sex, love, and communication. Meet James and Heather. Their relationship isn't working. A cold distance has grown between them and their intimate moments feel forced. Heather is a take-charge problem solver who sometimes gets too carried away for her own good. She's determined to make her relationship with James work, even if it means being overbearing or making questionable decisions. James has recently started to discover that he's easily manipulated. He can't remember if this is the way he's always been, but he's going to do something about it in this relationship, that's for damn sure. Meet Ellis and Renee. Their relationship isn't working. The spark...

Though many will avoid this little film because the title and DVD cover
suggest a mindless mélange of sexual encounters, those who can get past
these flaws will find a well written (Miles Brandman) examination of
young people's concepts of relationships and how to keep them. Brandman
also directs this stylish charmer and has at his disposal actors not
usually associated with a more serious type of story.
James (Macaulay Culkin) and Heather (Alexis Dziena) are young,
attractive and in love, though Heather is finally able to confide in
James that she is unable to achieve orgasm in their otherwise
satisfactory sex life. Ellis (Kuno Becker) and Renee (Eliza Dushku) are
another couple whose intimate life has lost its sparkle. Each of the
couples (who have never met) hears about sex therapist Dr. Wellbridge
(Joanna Miles) who supports the concept of group sex as a means to
strengthen relationships grown stale. Each couple meets with the
doctor, reveals their insecurities and fears and Dr. Wellbridge
arranges a 'session' for the two couples to share an evening of
intimate interaction. How this 'change' alters each couple's
relationship is the message of the film: some surprises are in store
that are unsuspected.
Yes, there is comedy here and yes, there is thoughtful dialog, but the
pleasure of the film lies in discovering the expanded acting abilities
demonstrated by these four young attractive actors. The film may not be
deep, but it does entertain and it most certainly has some useful
information about love and relationships we all need to know. Grady
