Very funny Aussie adult comedy. The movie is about half-dozen couples all with problems in the bedroom. Each of the couples take on a new approach into improving their sex lives with hilarious outcomes. Although the movie is an adult comedy, there is no nudity. This film is just plain fun to watch. The video call scene near the end of the film almost had me peeing in my pants. It was very funny. The film also has a dark comedy side to it that wraps up the film at the very end. I really enjoyed this film.

This film looks behind closed doors into the sex lives of a bunch of fairly normal Australians who live in the same area.This is not a documentary or is it a serious film, it is a light romantic comedy.The characters involved realise some of their sexual fantasies with their partners. The film flits from family to family examining some of the emotional and situation byproducts of these fantasies. To have a sexual fantasy is one thing, the logistics of carrying it out can be another thing completly.What is so good about this film is its lightness and grounding. There are no crude, silly jokes about dildos and at no point does anyone run around in a gimp suit wearing a strap-on. The characters are realistic and endearing and you really do feel for them.The acting and casting is great! The production and lighting is excellent.I found this genuinely funny and intriguing to watch.Despite the subject matter there is no nudity and the sex is handled very responsibly.A very good, light film about an intriguing subject with laughs on the way What more could you want?

It's Christmas and the holidays are upon us - nothing on the box so I searched top 30 comedies of 2015 and this little gem appeared on the first list. It's difficult to critique without spoiling it suffice it to say the mundanities of relationships that turn a little stale or present themselves with obstacles to overcome is a well travelled path BUT this film treats that scenario with a clever, entertaining, moving mix of highs, lows and obscenely funny situations. All punctuated with the most ridiculously dark and amusing interjections of a registered sex offender - you gasp once, twice three times before the horror of the implications of this confession are ignored whilst you've been seduced into laughing it off! Such a clever and twisted film - brilliantly Australian in it's humour and location. The crafting of scenes and narrative payoffs are deliciously executed. The soundtrack and use of music is powerful and enhances the experience and adds a pathos to the proceedings - in particular the fabulous use of music from Sleeping at Last and their Atlas : Light album. I've already recommended this to my friends during the credit roll - watch it - it's frighteningly real but totally entertaining and thought provoking.

It's been a long time since I've actually ROARED with laughter at a movie, but this new Australian film 'The Little Death' literally had tears rolling down my face as I slapped my thighs and fought for breath.It's a constantly surprising, ever-so clever and inventive comedy about human sexuality that somehow manages to shine a light into lots of very dark and otherwise scary corners of our collective psyches with a lot of compassion and love and still make you come out with a spring in your step.It's not quite as gnarly as, say, 'Happiness' but it's in the same ballpark, so maybe use that as a yardstick to judge whether it's for you or not.For me, though, it's the only film I can remember having to go back and watch again the very same day, so I guess that's a recommendation.
