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.

Reviews for Seeing Other People
Sharply scripted, well cast and good-looking on a budget, Seeing Other People is a sex comedy full of insights about monogamy, promiscuity and other human endeavors.
There are so many different pairings to keep track of that the movie loses focus and becomes a juggling act.
Whatever the film lacks in presentation, it makes up for in laughs and ensemble performances that sing.
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?
Every plot turn reinforces the conventionality of what pretends to be a groundbreaking concept.
In the end, it's an okay comedy of manners, but it offers no insight or surprises to add to the book of love.
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.
It's a credit to that talent that this film, with it's completely implausible plot, never loses the audience, delving cleverly into male and female nature for some good belly laughs and, dare I say it, some thought-provoking insights as well.
dwells on the realistic effects of a fairly ridiculous idea — one that is clearly better suited to farce
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.
This small-scale flick manages a kind of knowing intimacy in its only slightly exaggerated characters and situations...
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.
A hit-and-miss sex farce that, though recognizably independent and refreshingly raunchy, could've benefited from less sitcomy slickness.
Feels like an extended pilot episode for a not-quite-Thirtysomething series: meandering plots and wacky supporting players.
