Synopsis

Can two serial cheaters get a second chance at love? After a one-night stand in college, New Yorkers Lainey and Jake meet by chance twelve years later and discover they each have the same problem: because of their monogamy-challenged ways, neither can maintain a relationship. Determined to stay friends despite their mutual attraction, they make a pact to keep it platonic, a deal that proves easier said than done.

achilleslink First I will say that in my opinion this movie was worth the watch. It had some moments that had me laughing out loud. Jason's disposition is inherently funny and he knows how to deliver a line. I like Alison, so that was another plus. But that's where the really good things about this movie end. The story line was very flawed and incredibly unrealistic, in my opinion. There is no way that Elaine and Jake wouldn't be together after spending so much time with each other and being in love the whole time, especially considering they lost their virginity to each other. Elaine ends up fucking some random guy that was at a kid's birthday party (which by the way, why would she do is she's in love with Jake?) and Jake is not even that mad about it. Regardless of the title of the movie, I don't like how they perpetuate how it's "okay" to fuck other people even when you know you're in love with someone else. It's not something that's morally sound and no one should do that. In a later scene, they are then cuddling in bed, consoling each other, and nothing happens even then. There was a totally lack of sexual and romantic chemistry with these two. They had matching vibes that could've certainly resulted in sexual and romantic chemistry, but the story line never allowed it to develop or show. They really dropped the ball on some crucial elements that could've made the movie truly great. It needed more romance and it needed more passion.
SnoopyStyle In 2002, college student Jake (Jason Sudeikis) finds Lainey (Alison Brie) yelling for Matthew (Adam Scott) in the hallway. Jake and Lainey end up losing their virginity to each other. In the present day, the two run into each other in a sex addiction support group. They haven't seen each other since that night. Jake sleeps with inappropriate women rather than maturely breaking up his failed relationships. Lainey has been in an on-and-off affair with Matthew even after his marriage to Emma. Jake and his best friend Xander cash out by selling their business to a big company. Quickly, Jake is flirting with the company lawyer Paula (Amanda Peet). Jake and Lainey have a platonic relationship but their romance is never far below the surface.This hits on similar terrain as When Harry met Sally. Sudeikis and Brie have some slightly irreverent brand of humor but it's never completely edgy. They seem well matched. The missing element is the uncontrollable heat. Sudeikis is a little too standoffish and always joking around. There seems to be good possibilities with these two but it fails to land that knockout punch.
lordqalvin 9 out of 10 might be a bit much, but it is how much I personally liked the movie. The story wasn't bad, but it wasn't all that interesting so I understand the low overall rating of the movie. The actors were great and made their characters fun. I haven't watched the romance movies that some of the other reviews are referring to, but I assume those movies are probably a bit more dramatic. This movie was fun and upbeat and although it wasn't some epic romance story or hilarious comedy, it's a movie that leaves you with a smile. It's really just about a couple of adults getting closer as friends while being attracted to each other and having fun with it.
Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a man and  a woman, who meet each other again after spending one night together twelve years ago. They form a strictly non physical relationship, yet it's full of chemistry and sexual tension."Sleeping with Other People" is a predictable romantic comedy, the kind that you know who will end up with who in the first five minutes. To fill up the screen time, the story is winding. I find myself wondering constantly when they will just get down and just get it done with! The story is  a bit slow, fortunately the couple is quite sweet, which makes them pleasant to watch. Overall, it's a film to pass time mindlessly, and I'm likely to forget about it soon.
