Overview

Ed and Alice are two months shy of getting married when she realizes that she wishes she'd had a more active love life while still single. Reluctantly, Ed agrees to have an open relationship in the months before their wedding, and initially this seems to improve their connection, particularly in the bedroom. However, as Ed and Alice get more involved in their own flings, the experiment goes awry.

There's a lost-and-found innocence in their characters which Ms. Nicholson and Mr. Mohr express beautifully.

Andrew Sarris, New York Observer

... sharp, sometimes nasty and truly funny ...

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

Premise sounds implausible, but Nicholson's thorough rendering of Alice as a willowy, intelligent and more than a bit self-deluded naif puts it over.

Robert Koehler, Variety
Rotten

A premise that is equal parts silly and cynical is stretched over 90 uncomfortable minutes, hitting just about every relationship cliche imaginable with incongruous spurts of graphic sex talk spiking the mostly ho-hum dialogue.

Megan Lehmann, New York Post
Rotten

It lacks the wit and depth to make it anything more than a mediocre tale of Hollywood malcontents.

Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger
