Sleeping With Other PeopleStarts off breezy and light, surprisingly keeping it real and on the track until it takes a highway in its final acts where things get intense resulting into a "movie" movie if compared to other Jason's installments.

In 2002, college student Jake (Jason Sudeikis) finds Lainey (Alison Brie) yelling for Matthew (Adam Scott) in the hallway. Jake and Lainey end up losing their virginity to each other. In the present day, the two run into each other in a sex addiction support group. They haven't seen each other since that night. Jake sleeps with inappropriate women rather than maturely breaking up his failed relationships. Lainey has been in an on-and-off affair with Matthew even after his marriage to Emma. Jake and his best friend Xander cash out by selling their business to a big company. Quickly, Jake is flirting with the company lawyer Paula (Amanda Peet). Jake and Lainey have a platonic relationship but their romance is never far below the surface.This hits on similar terrain as When Harry met Sally. Sudeikis and Brie have some slightly irreverent brand of humor but it's never completely edgy. They seem well matched. The missing element is the uncontrollable heat. Sudeikis is a little too standoffish and always joking around. There seems to be good possibilities with these two but it fails to land that knockout punch.

Is this predictable? Of course it is! Do the actors and the quirky dialog still warrant a viewing? Very much so, unless you have a total dislike for romantic comedies. Then this will feel like a drag to you. Don't do it to yourself and to the movie. Because obviously you'll have the worst time and therefor will rate it differently.Now, with that out of the way, Jason and Alison make a good match. And you can feel the chemistry in their first "meeting". Shouldn't they come together faster than? Well it wouldn't make for a feature length movie if the did. Also there's Amanda Peet to name another reason. Who wouldn't also fall in love with her? But of course, there is nothing like the first love ... at least in movies of course!

Someone had the not so bright idea of remaking When Harry Met Sally except in this movie the boy and girl play oingo-boingo in the beginning of the movie and then meet cute years later and the movie goes on and on and on from there.Before watching this movie I liked Jason Sudaekis and now I hope I never meet him in real life or in another movie. Alison Brie starts out gorgeous becomes unappealing and ends up repellent.It is impossible to understand either of the main characters motivation for their actions and their actions and interactions are lewd,crude and ultimately uninteresting. About 45 minutes into the movie I realized I could not hear what the characters were saying to each other but I decided not to turn the sound up because I was not missing anything.Scene after scene made me scratch my head and ask what kind of people act like this and what kind of people write a movie where people act like this.I always allow for poetic license but none of this behavior was interesting or funny or made any sense.If you are getting the idea that I did not like this movie you are 200% correct.In a movie where 90% of the time is spent talking about sex or showing people having sex there is not one moment in the movie that is sexy.I have watched animals mating on the National Geographic channel that was more interesting and compelling and I cared more about than I did the people in this movie.Not recommended.With extreme prejudice.
