See it if The struggles of open relationships and a little nudity interests you
Don't see it if your expecting a great resolution kinda sad and lacking a bit in script
See it if You want a clever story about modern sexual politics in the gay community.
Don't see it if You expect realistic character development.
See it if You like relationships that are Gay, the ups and downs of living together. You think open relationships are ok.
Don't see it if Don’t like men kissing or swearing
See it if The topic was too real . It happens today , people get married and cheat each other . Is better to talk to about it . No one will suffer .
Don't see it if Nothing to say here . Probably some of the actors to speak a bit loud . Couldn’t hear sometimes but in general all good . Good fun ! Read more
See it if The look inside an open relationship dynamic in 80s should feel as similar then as it does today
Don't see it if You want the edgy original version. There is no casual nudity and authentic sexual chemistry here.
