Just before she is to be married to Ed (Jay Mohr), her boyfriend of several years, Alice (Julianne Nicholson) decides that she has not had enough sexual experience with other partners, so she convinces Ed to consent to a three-month free-for-all. She hopes that the experience will give her the confidence she lacks, and that their separate experiences will add some spice to their bedroom. It works for a while, but soon it becomes apparent that, while Ed is enjoying multiple partners, Alice is sticking with one person in particular, and they have an entirely new problem on their hands. This comedy from former Simpsons writer Wally Wolodarsky makes sport of contemporary sexual mores in Los Angeles. Lauren Graham, Josh Charles, Bryan Cranston, Andy Richter, and Helen Slater costar.

In the end, it's an okay comedy of manners, but it offers no insight or surprises to add to the book of love.

A hit-and-miss sex farce that, though recognizably independent and refreshingly raunchy, could've benefited from less sitcomy slickness.

I cheated during this movie - by thinking about other films I liked better.

The great cast should work together again on a project that aspires to be more than just pleasent. Not a bad movie, just a little too obvious.

Like the pilot for a failed FOX sitcom spread out to an impossibly long 90 minutes.

I'd rather be seeing other movies--and you'll probably feel the same way.

Feels like an extended pilot episode for a not-quite-Thirtysomething series: meandering plots and wacky supporting players.

Silly sex farce involving self-absorbed people.

This whiny, unpleasant comedy of infidelity makes a good case for staying celibate with the phone unplugged.

dwells on the realistic effects of a fairly ridiculous idea — one that is clearly better suited to farce

The fantasy that is this film's central contrivance is so much about superficiality that it flits from mind before the end credits finish. Or, is that just relief?

A genial, harmless, uneventful little film that will have you smiling while you’re also thinking about what to get for dinner after it ends.

It lacks the wit and depth to make it anything more than a mediocre tale of Hollywood malcontents.

Every plot turn reinforces the conventionality of what pretends to be a groundbreaking concept.

A premise that is equal parts silly and cynical is stretched over 90 uncomfortable minutes, hitting just about every relationship cliché imaginable with incongruous spurts of graphic sex talk spiking the mostly ho-hum dialogue.

A crass, clumsily constructed romantic comedy.

There are so many different pairings to keep track of that the movie loses focus and becomes a juggling act.

Begins as a refreshingly subversive departure from the Hollywood studios' cookie-cutter romances, but the thin script can't sustain that initial charge, and it soon flattens out, like a punctured comic balloon.
