Each of five stories traces a single sexual encounter between each couple, leading from "Foreplay" through to "Afterglow." Each couple's attempt to have sex is met with an endless stream of complications. The Couple, Abby (Kristen Booth) and Andrew (
Josh Dean), try to spice up their stale love life, only to discover that things are worse than they thought. Matt (
Aaron Abrams) and Kristen (
Carly Pope) are The Friends, lifelong buddies, one sick and the other sick of love. Their plan to sleep together goes off the rails when romance rears its ugly head. The Exes, Mia (
Sonja Bennett) and Eric (
Josh Cooke), hook up again for old time's sake, while trying to hide the feelings they still have for one another.
In The First Date, world-class playboy Ken (Callum Blue) comes clean about his history to his naive young date Jamie, learning some of her secrets in the process. The Roommates, Dave and Gord are normally at each other's throats, but set aside their differences for a threesome with Gord's girlfriend Inez. In each case, the couple (and trio) discovers that sex isn't always simple.
Canadian Connection: Filmed in Toronto, Ontario. Several cast members are Canadian.
fantastic, finally a candian production worth watching
Did the movie show the true harmful physical, emotional,relational,and societal consequences of such casual and lustful attitudes towards sex? The overwhelming benefits of sex only in marriage are well documented in many diverse medical journals.
VERY WELL WRITTEN! It really is truly a rarity to find intelligently written Canadian comedian, let alone a movie that honestly portrays the awkward ambivalence sex can sometimes engender. Sex is freaky, funny, and awkward at times...and this film is full of nuanced depictions that thematically encapsulate the intimacies thin veil. Sex is not just sex, and he nailed it(pun intended) dead on!
