My Thoughts: I didn't know what to expect going into this movie. I had not seen the 1986 Demi Moore and Rob Lowe movie that this one is based off of or "Sexual Perversity in Chicago" by David Mamet. All I had to go on was the trailers that, lately, seem to be on every channel and radio station.
What do we get out of this movie? We get to follow two couples. The first couple, Kevin Hart and Regina Hall, are two people that are attracted to each other but can't seem to stand each other for more than 5 minutes unless they are not in public. The second couple is Michael Ealy and Joy Bryant who are your more traditional couple, living through the struggles of being a new couple and stumbling along the way.
There are some great comedic moments in this movie (how can there not be with the proclaimed "funniest man alive"), but sadly, that does not help this movie. With a run time of around 90 minutes, this movie's pacing is slow. Which, of course, had me looking at my watch, wondering when it was going to be over.
I was also kind of surprised that people had brought their kids to this movie. There are plenty of sex scenes in the first quarter of the movie. Nothing too detailed, but the kid next to me seemed to have her head in the arm of her mother for most of the show. And then there is the language. Again, it is rated R, meaning they were very descriptive in talking about sexual acts. So, think twice about bringing your kids to this movie; it is not family-friendly.
My Recommendation: This movie just didn't do it for me. Yes, there was some funny moments, but the pace of this movie was just too slow. Wait for it to come out on Blu-ray/DVD.
