If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
... View MoreI enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

... View MoreWhen bad Aussie drama meets Ingmar Bergman, you have Adore. Two lifelong friends decide to sleep with each other sons for what reason? I don't know. With nary a hint of regret or conflict, these affairs go on with the redundancy of food prep. Coming from the writer of Dangerous Liaisons, Christopher Hampton, one feels his heart is not in this exercise. Watch Damage with Jeremy Irons to see this notion better realized.
... View MoreThere are so many levels to this movie that it would be impossible to do it justice in a review.It is rare for me to be riveted to the screen, give my overall negative attitude towards movies in general and the television (where I see most movies) in particular. So when I encounter something that fires my imagination to the extent that I want to watch it more than once, it deserves all the praise I can give it.The story is so well written and the acting so expertly performed, it is very difficult to find an area that could be improved upon...or even if I would want to if I could.Above all else, a subject that is - to most of us - a taboo, is handled in a very sensitive and respectful manner. At no point did I feel that it was in any way "grotty" or dirty.Of course, I am acutely aware of the fact that the "moms" in this movie are very attractive indeed....I'm not sure that "dude, I boned your mom" with said mom looking like a tree-pig in a bad mood, would work anywhere near as well (unfair though that is).All in all, a fantastic movie, polished and presented in a very thought provoking way.
... View MoreNever in my life have I ever watched such a cringe worthy 'film'. From the cheap dialogue, to the ridiculous plot that seems to have been written by a 15 year old teenager, this so called 'motion picture' is just pathetic.The acting was similar to that of a porn intro. The plot was not realistic at all and honestly quite disturbing... this story could have been told in 10 million different ways that could have made it better. Instead, it's just a slightly disturbing porno about -------------*spoiler alert*-----------two moms who fall in love with each other's sons and ARE OKAY WITH IT and KEEP THE RELATIONSHIPS GOING. ---------------------------------------I don't know whether the director was trying to be realistic or not, but if she was, this is a MASSIVE failure. The dialogue, the characters *who spends that much time with their mom when they're in their 20s??*, the whole world of this movie is just BIZARRE. It honestly feels like watching an adaption of a badly written fanfic with just as cheesy and ridiculous dialogue and storyline... PLS
... View MoreHow many guys have fantasised about being with their best friends mother? Well this film takes that fantasy and brings it to reality. If you have ever watched a pornographic movie where sons get it on with friends mothers this is the basic concept for this movie. Reviews are mainly opinion's and not facts but any review under seven stars can lead viewers to believe that factually the film won't be that interesting a watch. Well despite the major negative critics reviews the film is actually pretty good and the character's aren't just one dimensional statues. I'll keep it vague as to not spoil your viewing pleasure of this film too much. A basic synopsis of the story is that one of the sons falls in love with his best friend's mother and they end up having sex. His friend finds out and gets back at him by doing the same thing vice versa and sleeping with his friend's mum out of spite. Everything starts of awkward and then comfort sets in as all parties involved in this sexual orgy of young guys and "milfs" get used to the idea and the sex begins to feel like a fix. It then becomes complicated when one of the guys begins sleeping with another woman his own age which leads this unspoken agreement to gradually come to an end. I would say some scenes can drag on and they could have dived deeper into how something as strange as their four way relationship made everyone in the group feel because that's not something that happens every day. Anyway I definitely would say that I 'adore' this film and the artistic way that they turned an act of slightly incestuous debauchery into a story of emotion, passion and love my rating is 7.5/10 and I would urge anyone sceptical because of the original rating to take a chance and watch it.
