 Pointless indie flick July 1, 2009
Westley (Stuck in my head)
Two Los Angeles couples struggle with relationship issues in this indie drama. James (Macaulay Culkin) and Heather (Alexis Dziena) seem to have a good relationship, but sex problems have developed. Ellis (Kuno Becker) and Renee (Eliza Dushku) live in a trendy loft and also seem happy, but sexual boredom has started to creep into their lives. The couples attend a workshop by a sex therapist, who suggests that sex problems can be solved by opening up relationships to group sex and multiple partners. The two couples agree to this plan, although each of them has at least some reservations.
"Sex and Breakfast" is relatively well acted and the four main actors are all likeable and appealing. However, beyond that, the movie is pretty pointless. The two couples' relationships aren't explored in enough depth to maintain the movie or make it interesting, and the "psychology" presented in the movie is ludicrous. The therapist uses (and misuses) a lot of seemingly meaningful jargon, but there's no basis in reality for anything she says. In addition, the sex scenes are brief and not very sexy. Some people may find it interesting to see former child star Culkin doing sex scenes, but that novelty definitely isn't enough to carry this movie. "Sex and Breakfast" isn't a bad movie, just dull and pointless.

Tiresome dialog that passes for spontaneity does not a full-length movie make. Somehow, a dire experience that reminds me of 'John and Mary' (Dustin Hoffman and Mia Farrow, was it?). Give me 'Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice' any day, instead, despite the dated scenario. Even an episode of 'Sex and the City' merits more involvement on our part.
A bit too long to start June 28, 2008
Pingu49374 (Montreal, Quebec Canada)
Very good film of author, a bit too long to start and we would like some more.
The distribution is excellent, and we take time to know the characters... Too much for my taste.
We would like to have some more: to know what it occurs in their head after their experiment. Will there be repeats?
I've been announced this film as being a comedy, but it is more one drama of manners.
The reactions are realistic (though some other reviews say) and I would have preferred that this vision is looked further into. To see this film in couple can certainly bring a certain discussion.
The play of the actors is right and the realization is without too many artifices. The soundtrack is amazing.
Admittedly a good entertainment but we remain on our appetite.
In my humble opinion, it takes too much time to try to know the protagonists; we would like to really know what occurs AFTER...
Still, it is a good movie it's worth seeing...

This movie had 3 chacters that i know of, and the only reason why i got it. But also the fact that this movie lacked alot of scenes. It was more like half of the movie was sold and the other half is missing. all chacters did well. However watch the movie for u're self, because everyone has a different taste bud.
Cute. somewhat annoying, but, OK April 6, 2008

cute.
OK - I just can not in any way, as hard as I may try, I can't think of Macaulay Culkin as sexy. no way. he is and will always be the cute, goofy little boy in Home Alone. the one that my son wanted to be just like as he grew up watching Home Alone 10 times a week.
why did he get cast in this? did he buy his way in? maybe he has connections? I dunno. but, sorry, he is NOT sexy. he doesn't look old enough to have being having sex! (yes, I know he got married at like 16. aggggg.)
OK, on to the movie. sorry.
it was cute. sort of sexy. I really liked the man in the other couple. I like that woman too. the girl that was doing the diddly with little Kevin, don't know her name, but, she showed her ass in "Broken Flowers" ? I believe, the one with Bill Murray. and she was in that sad canceled alien TV show. she is adorable - for a 12 year old. (again, am I getting old, but, these kids look too young to be "doing it"!!)
the sex therapist part was silly and ridiculous. plus, I kept thinking how do these very young couples afford a sex therapist? don't they know they can just go to craig's list to get all that wife swapping for free?
if you want mindless, sort of cute, pretty young couples that get jiggy - go for it. not horrible. not on my top 100 fav list, missed by about 4000.
thanks! SS
