Summary: an unhappily married couple are swayed into the swinging lifestyle
So of course Olivia Wilde a woman who ran out of a relationship to get with a much younger man, is going to tell you being in a long term monogamous relationship makes you unhappy.
Of course she is going to fetishize swinging and act like the swinging couple has a great relationship, when in fact it is an unethical therapist, Cruz, taking advantage of a man who lost his wife, Norton.
The film ends with the monogamous couple looking at slipping up, because of course they would be happier single.
The central characters are incredibly irritating and unlikeable and a collection of some of the worst modern cliches and neurosis.
The cringe comedy does manage to get a laugh from you before the loveless husk of a marriage manages becomes too much to bare and sucks all the joy from the room.
Overall, a depressing experience.
1.5/5
Pros
A few funny jokes
Okay pacing
Cons.
Deeply unlikeable characters
Yet more monogamy bad nonsense
Hollywood’s sheer lack of morals
It’s depressing
