One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

This film attempts to cash in on the success of Richard Curtis movies, particularly "Love Actually" (which I loved) - a series of disparate scenes following the love lives of various couples. It's a great idea poorly executed. The script tries to be a little too clever and simply doesn't resonate. Most of the acting is stilted which is more a reflection on the director than the actors.The version I saw (on a plane) was called "Scenes from a Park", which is a more appropriate title as not all the scenes were of a 'sexual nature'.I was so looking forward to this movie, but ultimately it is disappointing. Don't bother.

Preface ~ the word spoilers is tossed around, in the case of this movie you can not spoil the dialog with a description of the events. This is a dialog driven movie and therefore it would be near impossible the watchers experience by describing certain interactions. ~ fauqurIn times such as these where sex is both taboo and the most common marketing tool known to advertising we need more movies of this type. It is a satirical and realistic look at love and sex in our current world state. This film is not one of flashy special effects or deep metaphorical cinematography. The message is in the dialog and is only hidden if you can't read body language or infer for yourself the intended message of the script and actors. This examines all generations and all lifestyles... to a point, but in general it covers the basics. Watch for the re-occurring characters that bring comic relief to each story. I would have to re-watch it but I believe the Actress currently playing Martha Jones on Dr Who is in one of the best scenes in the movie. ~Spoiler~ After enduring a breakup she is approached by a random bloke in the park who tries to comfort her, while not so discreetly attempting to also bang her in the park. The negative reviews no doubt came from people who thought the title meant they were in for adult soft core. This is a social commentary and should be viewed as such.If you are able to put your sex drive in the back seat and take an honest look at sex and love in relation to lifestyle, generation, and social upbringing you will enjoy this fine piece of cinema.I mean if you read the trivia, the actors will all willing to work for minimum and agreed to only receive additional compensation with future sales... I think that proves how much they believed in the film... you can at least give it a shot

I've seen this movie recently in the Prince Charles Cinema in London when I was visiting the place during a City Trip. I didn't know which movie was playing and the I never heard of this movie. So without any idea what the movie was about, I sit back and enjoyed the movie.The first thing I noticed was the high amount of 'feel good movie'. Everything is sunny, the grass is always very green and everybody is smiling.The plot isn't very spectacular, just some people who fell in love, are in love or needs love. But it's the humor what makes it special. Every character is interesting and never bores. Everyone can recognize himself in some sort of way in one of the characters.When the movie ends, you leave with a smile. That's for sure!

There is nothing mean spirited or evil about this movie. It's just terribly dull. Dull is the photography--- the film stock appears old and faded and washed-out. Maybe it was even 16mm blown up to 35mm, dunno. Dull is the script, which is tedious and 'Jules Pfeiffer'-ish. That is, kind of 1960s bossa-nova cocktail party cool. Like our beatnik grandparents might have spoken if they were trying to appear really straight. The 'slice-of-life' characters were mostly annoying. True, they were real to life, but hey, if I wanted to see truly ordinary people doing really mundane and ordinary things, I'd just watch myself. I wouldn't trapse all the way down to a cinema and blow five quid, and an evening, watching someone else do it.I expected a funny, bright rom-com. What I got was more like what two intelligent and moderately talented 19 or 20 year-olds might have produced on their first day with a new video camera.I gave this a 4 out 10, because it appears that someone tried, at least.
