While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

In Canada, the Irish inn keeper Daniel (Neil Duncan) runs his establishment with his fiancée Teri (Kim Huffman). Daniel's inn is near bankruptcy since a modern inn with more facilities was opened next door by Mark (Shawn Thompson). The naive Daniel does not suspect that Teri is unfaithful to him and is shagging Mark and sending guests to him. When the rock star Todd Warren (Scott McNeil) arrives in his limousine to stay at Mark's inn, Daniel stumbles upon and helps his company, the promiscuous actress Jenny Dole (Adrienne Shelly) that as left behind by Todd in the limousine and is also a star. She lodges at Daniel's inn and rent all rooms to avoid the reporters. Soon there is a battle of egos between Jenny and Todd and she gets closer to Daniel, while Todd makes a pass at Teri. Meanwhile Daniel gets a loan from the bank using his inn as collateral. After a couple of days and lots of confusion, Daniel needs a miracle to save his inn. What will happen to him?"Sleeping with Strangers" is a low-budget Canadian film with a funny and dramatic romantic comedy. There funny moments but also dramatic ones. Daniel is a character hard to be defined whether he is naive and stupid or simply a good person. The way he treats the slut Teri in the end is irritating. There is also a criticism to the way the media and the "little people" deal with spoiled stars. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Dormindo com Estranhos" ("Sleeping with Strangers")

Sleeping With Strangers is one of those cuddle up in bed with a big bowl of popcorn, kinda movies. It's not heavy on the brain and keeps the laughs coming.The film stars Adrienne Shelly as the looking for love in all the wrong places movie star, Jenny, Neil Duncan as super proper bed and breakfast owner, Daniel, Kim Huff as Teri, Daniel's fiancée and secret sweetheart of Daniel's rival, Shawn Thompson as Mark, Daniel's somewhat more modern and rival B&B owner and Scott McNeil, as Todd Warren, The Rock Star.Guys beware; there are places in the movie where it gets a little heavy on the romance. What makes it a cool movie and keeps it from getting too sugary sweet has to be Scott McNeil's Todd Warren. Rock star Todd, pushes the movie right off the cliff.Todd is the essence of the hyperactive; garage band stoner dude-next-door-who got saved by Rock & Roll. His light bulb doesn't shine too bright, but he's got a good heart...somewhere under the hair and through the haze.It was almost scary to watch Scott McNeil channel David Lee Roth, but it was just the right touch. Eye candy for the ladies with a nice set of pipes to boot! Oh yes, most memorable songs, "How Does it Feel" and "Rip My Clothes Off Baby!"This film also had a bunch of Canadian in-jokes, like Daniel's B&B serving macaroni and cheese. There were paparazzi/tabloid jokes and real people vs. star jokes. At one point, one of the star struck characters talks about Jenny, the movie star to her daughter... from two feet away, much in the same manner, as you'd talk about a zoo exhibit.I liked this movie because it was not only fun, but also it ends well too. The characters are allowed to improve...even Todd. Enjoy!

I bought this movie because I like Adrienne Shelly and the synopsis looked interesting. The first time I watched it I was a bit disappointed. I watched it again a couple years later to see if I liked it well enough to keep it and decided I did. The story is pretty light, like the romantic comedies from the '40s and '50s where the leads would meet, dance with each other for two hours and be madly in love and want to get married. The rock star character is a little over the top, but Neil Duncan is quite charming as the down-on-his-luck innkeeper. If you like him, or if you like Adrienne Shelly, you should like this movie. And if you like the Chris Isaak Show, keep an eye out for Jed Rees. I would give it a 5 or 6 out of 10.

I absolutely love this film. Honestly, this is probably my favorite film. The acting is touching, and the scenery is beautiful. Excellent humor, as well as timing, I really like everything about this film.All in all, I recommend this film to everyone who likes humorous films.
