    So predictable and ultimately very boring. Don't waste your time.

    Very low budget and it shows. At times, it looks like it was shot with a home video camera. The story starts with 1 gay couple arguing and being petty. The story is about 3 gay couples that meet at a vacation house, and basically play "wife swap". Very soap opera-ish. The acting is bad. Most of the guys are not good looking. I found myself skipping through parts of the movie, and I could not finish watching it. I rented it (thankfully), and I would not consider buying it. Don't waste your time.

    Bland at best. . . and tired stereotypes at worst. All the characters in this film have sufficient issues on-board, should this film be real-life instead of cinema, as to put a therapist's kids through university (and his wife in a sexy Ferrari convertible). While both real-life and film can show both gay and straight folks with issues, what strikes me most singularly is that each single character in this film has no redeeming quality. Lengthy, boring, and ripe with socio-sexual stereotypes, the only good thing I can say about this film is that it eventually ends.
