It's a Male Obsession
middletonduff25 March 2022
Well, George is living the Mr average life. A steady job, with a pretty if plain looking wife and the ubiquitous 2.5 children. He is slightly overweight as we all are, and the sex after kids is... well there if a little predictable. So, what better way to spice something up in the bedroom than make an impossible bet. Essentially lose 50lbs in 3 months and you can have "butt" sex. It turns out to be a drawn out blog that we all ride along with him to see if he can lose the weight and claim his star, (no pun intended). What it tries to do is approach a quite taboo subject and try and normalise it. This film is classed as independent and for the most part it does have that feel. I won't spoil the end but laugh out comedy it isn't, more of a smirk here and there. It's not a bad film, but at the same time it's not a film you will rush back to see.

Poor Browntown
cahidi2 April 2022
It's a family comedy movie about butt sex. Yeah, you read that right. Even though there wasn't any nudity and sex scenes, but it's still meant for adults. It's poorly acted, though. With better actors it could've been a lot better. I mean the story wasn't bad at all. It's funny and has a lot of hearts in it. It's the bad acting and bad cinematography which ruined it. Especially the child actors playing as the couples' kids, they're really lousy at acting. Otherwise, it would've been much better. Someone with more experiences in film making could've made this comedy way better. For now, if you ask me to rate this movie, I give it a five. And that's plenty, considering its flaws. I just like the heartwarming message in this movie, that's why I didn't give it a three (my initial opinion).

chasing the American Dream!!
Jo-Cino3 April 2022
Ok, i see a lot of really harsh reviews for this movie and i can understand what some are saying - BUT - this is more than just a movie. This movie is the american dream and i have nothing but respect for the efforts put forward... no, not because of the silly bet he makes...

In real life, this guy has a dream. He wants to make that dream a reality. So with a very low budget, he writes, directs and stars in his own movie (how awesome is that?!)... he's TRYING to manifest his own wishes. How can you not love that?? Think of this movie as a four track demo that he wants to get into the hands of a big studio exec

Now, make no mistakes, the acting is really not good (i'm trying to be kind)... the premise is a little silly, a little old fashioned i guess (is his goal THAT big of a deal these days), the writing itself is not all that great either, although, would probably seem much better with a better cast delivering these lines, but there are actually SOME parts that are legitimately funny (ie: the car scene when the son falls and the woman won't/can't get out to help him because...) the camera work and overall direction - eh, but as a body of work, and as a man trying to make his own way and follow his dreams, how can you not root for this guy?? Yes, we're basically watching a film students work.

The movie itself is not good, but i can really appreciate the fight! Does no good to make the others feel bad about it all.

Filth Agenda in Full Swing.
cay-5353823 March 2022
Degenerate filth masked in comedy. Seriously making a film about a guy that if he loses 50lb's will get An*l Sex with his Wife. Wow and having Child actors in the mix as well. No wonder the worlds a mess with this type of tripe being pushed out there like its something good.

Great for parents with a dirty sense of humor
marcusthechen22 March 2022
I watched this with my wife and we both describe this movie as a mashup of a 90s sex comedy with a family dramedy TV series.

In fact, the scenes dealing with marriage and career resonated with us even more than the sex humor and innuendo (though a lot of that is fun too) so take the marketing with a grain of salt. Overall it's an entertaining watch if you understand that this is a movie for grown-ups with life experience masked behind a dirty premise.

not too far of ...
ops-5253525 March 2022
The target for a low budget, independent neo-littic verbal comedy when it comes to midlifecrisis and sexual self development/exploration with the large array of do it yourself erotic toys and gadgets that the free and careless generation x embracess these days. Its all about a bet to become the perfect partener for your spouce and your family.

Even though im old and grumpy and feel the tear and wear of too much dialouging in modern comedy, there are actually many things i reckognize and have experienced from my own life in this film. But it is a bit slow and maybe a bit long on the playtime, but its edgy and flirtingly fresh if you know how to deal with it. So my grumpy old advice is, just dont buy any toys to your mate, cause itll happen sooner than you like when life reach the groundhoggian days,and may become a further issue to discuss...

a small recommend.

Heartfelt and funny
mmpetrovich24 March 2022
The movie is incredibly funny and has a ton of heart. You'll think back to those feel-good comedies that we all grew up with but don't see anymore. Give it a try-- you won't be disappointed.

A little dirty, a little cute, with lots of heart
johnhogdanger24 March 2022
What would a family comedy sex film look like? Well, it would look like this film. Nothing graphic, lots of innuendo, and a lot of heart and a main storyline that I think a lot of us can relate to - putting off personal dreams for family responsibility. It's very low budget but that gives it a lot of its charm - it's a film that practices what it preaches - butt sex jokes aside... If you like your humor heartfelt but a little crude, then you will enjoy this film.

Hilarious!
nicoleroka24 March 2022
Original script, clever storyline and just downright funny! It's honest, real life, for those who aren't prudish. Who hasn't enticed their partner with a sexual incentive now and again?!? Many laugh out loud moments!

Funny Movie
jiovanna24 March 2022
I loved this movie! Yes it's a little risqué but the overall theme is that of a family's love and support through good and bad. It's done in a very humorous way and that's what makes this movie unique. This relates to all families struggling with different obstacles throughout their lives. Great job to the local producers!!!

Wonderful change of pace!
vetteboy-5175824 March 2022
10 stars! This film is more than the title would lead you to believe. Some would say it's immature and I say they are missing the point. This is a fun film you could watch with your family. It may have some sexual topics (gasp!) but the real conversations and lack of violence (but 'Merica?) is a wonderful change of pace. The premise is hilarious and the family feels really bring it home. Are you a creative with dreams that never got off the ground before life got in the way? Do you have new years resolutions that never actualized? If you're tired of big budget unoriginal reboots and want to see a film created with real people while laughing along the way, then this time is well spent!

Hilarious Indie movie! We both loved it.
ryangurr26 March 2022
Awesome movie with a surprising and warm, family theme, running throughout. The movie has three perspectives being presented; the husband and wife, the wife and her friends; and the husband and his friends.

There's a lot of subtle (and not so subtle) humor that's everywhere during the movie. Pay close attention to the intro and credits. The little IT jokes, the 'passing addresses' mom's group at the school and Paulie's speech are hilarious. The whole movie was laugh out loud funny.

The movie is Unrated, but it's really more PG-13 than R (but lots of F bombs). Despite the adult theme, there's no sex or nudity.

It was only $6 ... buy the movie!

Loved it!
honeybooboo-0309026 March 2022
Yes it is an adult comedy! Very believable and fun Indie comedy! The actors were amazing and did a great job. The story line is fun and the actors made the characters come alive. I would watch this film again, not many you could say that about. Some movies you skip parts but you won't want to skip them with this film.

This isn't an IMDb 4.
tjstheiii4 November 2022
Probably christian fools down voting, even though they literally promote the same thing.. lol (your kids in high school, ya morons.). It's not the best movie but it's like a 5.8 where it's good enough if you're bored or want a laid back night. I enjoy comedy and yeah this probably ranks a bit lower as comedy, but a few laughs and nice story about a family. If you're stuck up and are to prude don't watch it. I wasn't disappointed for 1h 30m.

The story follows what is likely a normal family situation, husbands and wives may find more +funny in this area, I'm not married, but I could see normal couples enjoying this kind of comedy in the film as I'd assume we have all come across it.

A Great Indie Film
stevedurland31 March 2022
A humorous indie film with great production value. It's looks, feels and sounds like a true big(ger) budget film and considering it was shot on no budget at all is fantastic. Aside from the laughs, it's full of heart and a relatable subject matter of balancing love, life and following your dreams, as wild as they might be. Laura (Kendra McDermott) and her squad of ladies really steal the show with their performances. Well done.

Wish girls would give this deal out more often in relationships.
JustSayingKOA23 April 2022
It's pretty hilarious. As a guy who doesn't like to have a little an*l...give not take. Only takes losing 50 lbs for this guy. Poor guy, only took 20 years before his chance. Surprisingly a lot of the humor is funny, I thought it would be stupid but the writers actually put a lot of effort into writing this which you can tell. The wife is pretty good conveying what she thinks using facial expressions, she's a delight to watch. The rest of the cast sound like they are reading off a teleprompter but that just makes you laugh at them, it doesn't put me off from watching the movie. It's quirky and I like it.

Not what you might be expecting
spookydreamerboo16 June 2022
Just finished watching this gem and I have a sappy smile on my face. Anyone expecting some sort of soft core film will be very disappointed. This is a little low budget independent film about thinking back on your life choices, where you've ended up, regrets, and the good stuff you've got right under your nose, basically about everyday life at a certain time in that life.

The acting is quite amatuer, and the film isn't as polished as it could be, but it has heart, it's funny, it's a feel good film about everyday nice people just getting on with it.

If you're looking for something to laugh along to, and want to feel good at the end, then this will tick those boxes. Anyone reviewing this low must of had either a bad day or thought they were getting a porno, and this as they say in the end is just a family comedy. Well done to eveyone involved in making this.
