This movie is funny, sexy, has good acting and even a nice cinematography. And it is moving more and more into daring territory and challenges conservative sexual morality. But just to a certain extent.
After Audra and Noel finally let their pretences and reservations drop and have a threesome with freeminded Holly the real nature of Audra and Hollys relationship is revealed: they had a serious lesbian relationship over two years in college. And they are still in love, allthough Audra loves Noel as well. Everything seems to point out to a possible realy free minded polyamourous relationship of the three, but at this point the heterosexual Noel is threatened and shuts the door to this possible future. So does the writer/director.
In the end the whole "menage a trois" is reduced to a sexual fantasy coming true to spice up the conservative heterosexual marriage. The bisexuality of Audra is reduced to some teenage folly. So finally this movie, allthough it seemed to be very promising, returns to the male dominated norm, and its fear to be downsized by female emotional and sexual potential, instead of using this potential to step into a more broad minded state of consciousness and relationship - like executed in the fine movies "Kiss me again" or "Prof. Marston and the Wonderwoman".
But still, it is funny and sexy and maybe makes some people think a little about their sexual and social boundaries.
