Disturbing yet enthralling

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Geoff (Tony Goldwyn) is with one of his mistresses. His wife Deb (Kate Burton) calls their couple friends Tom (Griffin Dunne) and Julie (Annette O'Toole). Deb's fears about her marriage infect Tom and Julie's relationship. A drunken Geoff shows up in the middle of the night at their door with Heather/Heat (Gina Gershon).This tries to be a deep and insightful look into marriage life. The dialog is bad. The arguing is unappealing, boring, and unconvincing. These characters don't feel real especially when they try to add little failed comedic moments. These characters are whiny, annoying, and I wouldn't want to be their friend. It does try to be sexy but it's too overwrought like a softcore porn. I don't understand why it's so hard to kick out the friend with his whore. Deb should divorce the bastard and take every dime. Everybody is so weak and weakly written. This is a waste of perfectly good actors.

Gina Gershon stars in a movie about a couple and how they deal with their friends cheating. Gina Gershon stars as "The Other woman" who has an affair with a married man. Plot is thin, acting is decent, sex scenes are hot..but not a great movie. It does make you think about infedelity.
