What Other Couples Do

You can relate to these couples? No you can't. Maybe in the sense of unfulfilled expectations and getting your head filled full of negative energy by your girl mates on a night out, but you can't relate. Real couples issues aren't what you see here.

From the off set, a few ordinary people that either have kids or write for a living (which is of course not going to happen much at all) join up with friends in a huge house. What does that house have? Yep this is America so it has to have a pool right. With some awful comedy thrown in. I mean, come on. Get real. This isn't real life this is spoilt entitled L. A people wanting more and more and showboating. That's what Americans like to do here in films, show boat. It's so boring now. You've no idea what the real world is like and that's clear.

After some average quite forged chemistry between the friends, there's plenty of cringe dialogue. Some people get to a certain age and panic but also girls get together and chat in a dreamy state of wanting to be desired and have approval from strangers and boys get together and talk about thinking they can bang any girl. Then, they play what I assume is a teenager game which can have a bad effect on their lives. That's basically it.

I mean come on. This isn't good. This had potential. But is a complete and utter total mess. Cringe after cringe. Don't encourage these women. Notice how the men didn't want this game to take place but the women did. With one claiming she didn't want to play but then not so subtly manipulating her husband to play along? Yep, that's women of today. Right here.

This was a gem of a film. I laughed at the snarky script, the couples felt real and their problems were relatable. Unique premise with a kissing game for couples in their mid 30s being a catalyst to real soul searching realizations. Shot beautifully, great soundtrack and the actors were wonderful. Will watch again!

If possible, the obvious 0 chemistry between any of the actors is made worse by their stuffy, dull scripts and lack of talent.

Feels very awkward the whole way through... Like a parody of every rom com but without any genuinely funny moments.

Don't waste your hours on this one.

Fifteen minutes into the movie and I wanted to turned it off, but then decided to continue. What turned me off initially was the appearing "falkeness" of the characters. Then I decided it was intentional, it was a sarcastic portrayal of an average American couple (s) . An intentional exaggeration. Their empty conversations and dialogues were dismal and their bickering annoying, in my opinion. Then it became more interesting as the movie progressed. Some of the male actors were miscast. None of them looked much older than 26 years old Brad, however they were talking about themselves as if they were over 40 or approaching. The acting was just OK.

Four couples come together for a dinner at their wealthy friends' home and daringly decide to play "Seven Minutes in Heaven," risking ripping their relationships a part. Most the action, in "What Other Couples Do", takes place at this single location, but director and writer Courtney Daniels keeps the action going with witty dialogue and compelling characters. Daniels brings out the comedy in the relationships between men and women without losing the emotional honesty. It's the kind of movie that makes you think and want to chat about it afterward because some how it manages to be about every relationship. This indie film is well worth watching.
