AboveDeepBuggy Some things I liked some I did not.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

dancing_ostrich So I'm five minutes into this movie and it's like the plot line from a really bad porno. A couple moves into a new neighborhood and their new neighbors immediately come over and flirt with them. Later the woman sneaks into her neighbors backyard and sees the woman with two men and she takes pictures of them. Creepy. It gets more cliche from there on.

jbussmann-984-527596 I'm mid 60's baby boomer and we're responsible for free love and almost all the psycho-social-sexual excesses that our culture hasn't got rid of yet. We were spoiled and given everything we wanted and anything more, we just took. The "Lifestyle" of swinging is just a continuation of the old, lived out by those of us afraid of getting old. Getting old means settling down and some will never take the chance of settling down because to do so means to curb appetites and live within the structures of maturity. Some of us will never be able to be so brave. I've wet my big toe in the lifestyle and have concluded that the things we're looking for and wonder the most about are the things we still wonder about after the experience. Swinging is just about playing in a bigger sandbox. Yes sex and love can be two separate things but without each other they fail to calm the restlessness within. So, what about the movie? I loved it! The women were cute, adorable, and totally sexy. The men wore their bravado just like in real life. The dialog, scenes, sets, were perfect. T and A were wonderful. The husband was bound by all his fears and tried to project his inadequacy on his wife. He was the child. This scenario happens all the time in real life.If movies are primarily about entertainment, cut out the crap about real and heavy meaning. Ride the movie like a roller coaster... And just get your kicks.

AZTXConvert Movies such as this seem to focus on either audience members who are familiar with the topic or those who are curious. Much like the characters, viewers may be excited to see what really goes on or try to get a peak into a world that's becoming less and less taboo. This film provides both types a good ride for the first half, but then it takes a hard turn. If you're looking for an entertaining, late night Skinamax movie to fall asleep to (in 45 minutes or less), then it's perfect, because the second half sucks the air out of the room. Still, I've watched it twice and here's my breakdown:The female characters in this movie are sexy, smart, playful and honest. With the exception of the male lead, the male characters are something from the 1970s and painted as playful as a lion stalking its prey. There are some good laughs and the production quality is good, but the sets are something I'd expect in an Austin Powers movie where it's supposed to be funny!The lead actors do a nice, believable job and they come off as a real couple that you just adore. The primary supporting female actor (D Farr) is the most mature (in a good way) and well balanced of the group. She really keeps the subject matter grounded, despite being surround by guys in shirts unbuttoned to their stomachs. She is sexy, smart and acts exactly like a seasoned lifestyler, complete with all the correct terminology.Quick lifestyle commentary: The real lifestyle is made up of characters like those in the movie: couples next door, executives, artists, cops, young, old and everything that reflects mainstream society. Palm Springs is a vibrant, open community and absolutely provides a place for people to be themselves. As for the lifestyle, just like the characters in the film, people are artists, teachers, cops, executives, couples next door and everything in between. They just take "sharing is caring" to a new level. You can't possibly describe all the discussions and dilemmas in a single movie, so that's not something I'd expect in this film, but the way this one ends up, it seems like the writer had a bad experience and it's portrayed through more extreme, yet certainly possible, circumstances.I very seldom take the time to review movies but this one captured my attention. So for that, I appreciate it and appreciate the work done by the actors. They score high, but the "play with fire and get burned" message was not what I expected. I think it's great how they end up, but it could be delivered in a more "let the viewer decide" manner. This allowed the viewer to make up their own mind as subtly as an Oliver Stone conspiracy movie.

ccorral419 Director Sean Hoessli (primarily known for his work in Visual Effects) does a decent job bringing first time writer Amanda Lockhart's film about "swinging" couples in Palm Springs to life. While the story of "should we, shouldn't we and what happens if we do" makes sense, dialogue and delivery is weak, many scenes are overly staged, sound and lighting is unequal, the film appears more concerned with PS wardrobe and atmosphere, and female breasts and full-frontal nudity are used to make the film appealing. Tia Carrere (Wayne's World) gives a limited and basic cameo as Ms. Cherry Bomb - the Swing Party Hostess. Jason Lewis (Model, "Sex and the City") is rock star Lance, and is unfortunately miss-cast. Of the numerous actors who are featured here (all performing to varying believable degree), Jackson Davis (as newlywed Mark Hughes) gives the most honest of performances. Another highlight of the production is the films sexy and rhythmic music by Alf Alpha. The film is being released on Itunes and other digital formats, with little chance of making it to mainstream theaters.
