Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Hoodie234 Afternoon Delight tells the story of a woman living a mundane life seeking something more. In doing so she a adopts a young stripper and over time build a connection with her. Inspite of the films relatable and slightly unconventional premise it is executed in a very bland uninteresting way. To some up what I'm saying I felt this film was lost potential. As lover of film I admire any piece of work that try's something new and experimental. But sense the movie plays it so safe it becomes devoid of anything else then slightly above average. The acting is meh and the characters are flat. The music although not displeasing to listen to has a simple by the book upbeat tune to it. And the cinematography although not incompetent was all about getting the shot. This makes this film visually boringIn conclusion I recommend this movie as some nice, simple, unconventional fluff and not much more. I think you could easily enjoy it, but if you want a bit more substance then I would look elsewhere.6/10

julielaine When I clicked on this movie on Netflix, the title and the poster art made it seem like a light, silly film. While watching I realized it was dramatic and had a lot of layers to it. I really enjoyed it and the acting was amazing. I'd only seen the lead as a quirky supporting actress in films, never the lead. It was quite refreshing to see her in a different light and watch her go through every emotion. I fell in love with the husband, will be googling him for sure! He played his part really well. It probably could have used a bit more humour in the film but as a drama, it was well done. There was one awkward scene where I really felt for the characters. Kind of like, we've all had that moment in our lives that we regret and do not define us. I'm not sure how others felt about this movie but I feel it is worth a watch.

l_rawjalaurence In reviewing any film, it's important to keep one's feelings towards the plot and characters separate from one's judgment about the piece as a work of art.This is especially true of Jill Soloway's low-budget film, whose characters are thoroughly despicable. Rachel (Kathryn Hahn) is a bored homemaker frustrated with her marriage to workaholic Jeff (Josh Radnor): unable to find satisfactory help from her therapist (Jane Lynch), Rachel adopts local hooker McKenna (Juno Temple) as her live-in nanny for her son Logan (Sawyer Ever). For the most part McKenna does a competent job, studiously keeping her personal and professional lives separate, while Rachel makes a good stab of not telling her middle-class friends precisely what she has done. Inevitably, however, the situation ends in tears, with Rachel's uncomfortable secret being discovered, and McKenna moving out amid acrimonious circumstances.The film resembles DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES with added sexual spice, as it focuses on the empty lives of a group of well-to-do homemakers with plenty of money but little to entertain themselves except going to parent-teacher association meetings, or organizing events at their children's high schools. This boredom is what drives Rachel into the futile task of trying to 'rescue' McKenna. The fact that the younger girl might not want rescuing seems not to enter Rachel's head. At the end director Soloway invites us to reflect on who is the most morally culpable: is it Rachel, her husband, or the group of women she associates with? Filmed on a low budget, but with a good eye for light and shade (much of the action takes place in bright Californian sunshine, an ambiance that seems especially inappropriate for the morally dubious material in the script), AFTERNOON DELIGHT makes a damning criticism of middle-class life, especially that practiced by people with too much money and very little self-awareness.

badlydrawnhamster I've previously been a big fan of the director's work, The United States of Tara and Six Feet Under especially, but this is a tiresome piece which doesn't really go anywhere. Or anywhere interesting, at least.Bored housewife Rachel (Kathryn Hahn) seems to be trudging through every day life without taking much pleasure in it until she meets a stripper with a heart of gold (or so it seems at first) and invites her in to her home. After discovering that said stripper is also a sex worker she becomes more obsessed with her, until, inevitably, events take a darker turn.The first half hour of the movie is fairly amusing and well written, albeit with thinly sketched characters that it's hard to care about. But after that the film is painfully self-indulgent, predictable, and transforms in to a tedious mumblecore flick where we're supposed to care for the central leads despite them having no depth at all. An incredibly over long and agonisingly dull party scene seems to go on forever and from that point on everything is hit home with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, until the film eventually ends and you'll wonder why it couldn't all have been summed up within 45 minutes.Centering around the idea that "You don't appreciate what you've got until you've lost it", it could be of interest if it wasn't for the badly drawn characters and frustratingly predictable plot developments, that ultimately lead to an ending you'll have seen coming a mile off. It's a real shame as the first thirty minutes show promise, but it truly fails to deliver on it.
