CGiii Comment

Courting controversy is not difficult - to make a lasting impression is...

Walmsley, obviously, adapted his journal into a novel and managed to convince someone to make it into a film - not a wise move.

The dialogue is something an over-sexed (but under-practiced) teenager would fantasize about...

Adults will find it a painful reminder as to how awkward they once were - the only trouble is that it is not teenagers playing the parts. Bizarre.

It misses the mark completely.

A waste of time.

The(ir) Blurb...

Lucy (Leslie Hope), her husband Michael (Victor Ertmanis), and their business partner William (Dan Left) are the owners of a small publishing company in Toronto. The stability of their lives are thrown into an emotional maelstrom with the arrival of Sloan (Peter Outerbrige), a former boxer-turned-writer whose first book (based on a serial killer) is about to be published by their company. Sloan gets in over his head when he embarks on a steamy affair with the sexually ravenous and frustrated Lucy, who longs to re-create her S&M-filled days in Paris gone by. But Sloan soon embarks on another affair of his own with the openly gay William which leads to sexual confusion for the writer. All in the while, Lucy's befuddled husband, Michael, slowly goes crazy over learning of his wife and business partner's dalliance with his client until he decides to join in on their bed-jumping as well.
