CGiii Comment

It's a tough nut to crack...that old open relationship thang.

Unfortunately, this film goes nowhere near cracking that nut...the writing is simplistic, contrived and cheesy.

The direction is listless as are most of the performances...someone really needed to pump some energy into the story and onto the screen.

Can open relationships work? Are open relationships a good thing? Questions that this film fails to answer.

Shallow, weak and lifeless.
