The film opens with an awkward moment of realisation between a woman hoping for more, and a man just looking for some fun. This awkward realisation is made worse due to the loss of a sex toy in one of the worst places for it to be lost, triggering a visit to the ER, where the two have time to talk while awaiting extraction.
The humorous and irreverent plot device at the core of this film is probably what will draw the viewer into it because its title and cheeky tone early on suggest something that it is not. It is not long into the hospital visit that the film clearly moves into what it is - which is a much more earnest and talky film, which spells too much out, says too much with words and not with other methods, and generally is a bit too saccharine for its own good. The two characters overtalk their feelings, often speaking in things approaching platitudes, and it comes over quite insincere. The sexual humour of the situation sort of helps it a bit, but it can't carry it for long and it is well before the end when the film feels claggy and obvious in what it is doing.
The title, hook, and opening scene all make you hope for more, but this tails off badly by the end.
