Sleeping with other People
Rating 8 out of 10
I was recently on a long plane ride with plenty of time to kill. Delta had quite a few movies that were free to watch. I had seen a commercial for this movie months ago and thought it looked interesting yet never saw it come to theaters. The hottie and I clicked go and gave it a try. It turned out to be a sweet and entertaining movie we both enjoyed.
I find myself surprised that I like the star of the movie, Jason Sudeikis, as much as I do. I liked him in Horrible Bosses and thought We're the Millers was better than the reviewers gave it. I like the female lead, Alison Brie, also but I'm not sure where I have seen her before.
Jake (Sudeikis) and Lainey (Brie) meet in college and end up being each others first time. They drift apart and over the next several years date alot without finding the special one. They agree they are not meant for each other while they do like each other and become friends. Jake is a serial dater that can't commit. Lainey always commits to the wrong guy who is with someone else. The movie tests the When Harry Met Sally theory that a man and woman can't be friends. That sex thing always gets in the way.
While the name and theme of the movie leads one to think it's a teenage sex romp stupid comedy. It really isn't. It's more a fairly well written movie about a friendship over the years. I was surprised how much I enjoyed this movie.
