Despite an attractive cast and a few nice moments, Sex and Breakfast is just not that exciting.

A tortured talkfest with a premise far less ripe than its title.

Turgid and pointless.

The only thing shameful about Sex and Breakfast is its unwillingness to get really shameful.

And lest you're curious about the title: There is actually more time given to breakfast in the film than to sex.

The four restless young bedfellows talk lots and communicate little in trite and stagy digressions; even when they strip off their shirts, they're still emotionally clothed.

Macaulay Culkin at home but never alone in tepid, group sex saga.

Audience Reviews for Sex and Breakfast

For a low budget film, this was really good.I didn't expect to like it half as much as I did and I certainly didn't expect to feel moved by it.
