Really entertaining and funny, thanks largely to a great cast that gets the chance to be pretty flexible and try interesting things. Alison Brie and Jason Sudeikis are enchanting, and yet the movie never shies away from showing their humanity. The ending borders on cliche, but if you're into romcoms with cliche happy endings then this is definitely in the upper echelon.

Alison Brie and Jason Sudeikis are chronic cheaters, at least with others, in Sleeping with Other People, a romantic comedy that's rather more adult than most. Adult in that it speaks frankly on the topics of friendship, love and sex. Adult in that it doesn't need outright nudity to make its point even if there are frank sexual situations. And adult in that it dares veer off formula towards reality, or seems to. By which point you want nod along, but a part of you still wants the formula to equate, and so it gets its cake and eats it too. It elicited a number of laughs from me, but that was kind of beside the point. I was more interested in the relatable relationship story, and what it had to say about emotional honesty, sexual tension, and platonic love. And told with a fun cast too. Brie and Sudeikis are charming without being glamorous, and you kind of wish there'd been more for the supporting players to do given their scenes are fun too. I wish I'd seen it with other people so I could use "mousetrap" in everyday situations.
