Next, for reasons that make not one iota of sense, they book a night out at a sex club, where the clientele turns out to be a bunch of wrinkly old men in bondage leather (a bit of an easy target, that). In one of the film’s few decent jokes Josh compares his feelings about sex with Emma to her chicken stir-fry: “I don’t love it, but I eat it.” So they decide to spice things up, beginning with a disastrous threesome. Ten years of raising small kids has killed off their sex life. Instead, the comedy here is as broad as it gets, with some wildly unconvincing and unhilarious set-pieces.Įmma (Emily Hampshire) is an art teacher who is married to her childhood sweetheart Josh (Jonas Chernick).
A smarter, sharper film might have explored what happens next in an otherwise happy marriage when the spark goes out. It’s a comedy directed by Sean Garrity about a married couple who decide to kickstart their nonexistent sex life after packing their kids off to camp. This film may leave you moaning in despair, groaning in agony, screaming in irritation at the sheer embarrassing awfulness of entire scenes.
