After 14 years of marriage, Tom (Joel McHale) and Janet (Kerry Bishé) still can't keep their hands off each other. When they discover their friends are resentful of their constant public displays of affection, the couple starts to question the loyalty of everyone around them. Then, a visit from a mysterious stranger (Stephen Root) thrusts them into an existential crisis, leading to a dead body, a lot of questions, and a very tense couples' vacation in this dark romantic comedy.

“When you try to avoid conflict, you create conflict. Who said that? I don’t know .. Bruce Lee maybe.” An unexpected surprise and an incredibly entertaining film! The story focuses on a couple in love who have been together for 14 years and are still having as much fun as they did at the beginning. Their relationship is in a word, perfect, but to their acquaintances it’s unnatural, unrealistic, sci-fi, weird, and they are slowly being treated like Martians! The film takes on a nice paranoid vibe after the arrival of a mysterious man claiming interesting things, and from that point on, a mystery full of questions, sex, lies and shocking revelations begins to emerge. I enjoyed it a lot, I would love to have Kerry Bishé at home immediately (that's the woman every man dreams of!). The black humour worked for me, the acting is excellent, the stiffing atmosphere was good, and even though the finale is resolved conversationally, I was satisfied there as well. A solid mystery genre film spiced up with sharp black humour. 8/10.

In his feature debut, BenDavid Grabinski came up with a fairly original and fresh premise, but I feel he didn’t quite know what to do with it. It’s not very solid, it’s an “interesting” film that sort of crumbles between your fingers. The banal climax that relies on revealing the dishonesty of the relationships among a group of friends is something we’ve seen in tonnes of other conversational dramas, and I think this could have gone somewhere else given its interesting premise.

A rather unconventional idea and a clever combination of a bit of a sci-fi motif, the unravelling of secrets and a suspenseful atmosphere between several couples who meet in a house to sort out their differences. The first half is great and lures the viewer into a seemingly sci-fi rollercoaster ride and subsequent stifling collision, but none of that happens in the second half and the film takes quite a turn in a different direction than I would have originally liked. The final payoff was missing for me here, and I also didn’t get the reason why all this was happening, which is a huge shame and wasted potential, as the cards were dealt very well initially... Well, at least the occasional humour, the funny banter and the satirical undertones are nice.
