A very provocative title, isn’t it? But wait, it’s not a porn, actually it was a comedy about how five couples with different stages of relationship deal with sex.

First was best friends Matt and Kristen, then husband Andrew his wife Abby, followed by Mia and Eric a pair of exes, Jamie and Ken who had their first date, and finally the roommates Gord and Dave and Gord’s girlfriend Inez. The latter was not a threesome, but rather Gord wanted Inez to have sex with Dave.

Of course, if everything went smoothly the movie would be definitely a porn. On the contrary of being smooth, each couple stumbled on different problems. The movie will take you from each stage of prelude, foreplay, sex, interlude, orgasm, and afterglow. Each couple would, in the end, find resolution to their problem.

Overall, it was a rather funny movie, not hilarious, but just fun. How the writer of the story managed to weave the story so well deserved a praise. Rather than disgusted, I felt amused. The problems in the movie were not made-up stuffs, but problems that could happen to every one of us, and this is the fine point of the movie.

While the story could have been more detailed, doing so could actually derail the film from its true focus. So, I couldn’t complain too much about that. Acting may not be stellar, but everyone played well enough to make this flick enjoyable. For that, I gave it a 7.0.
