Film Description

Nothing is off limits in Olivia Wilde’s (Booksmart, Festival 2019) taboo-smashing third feature where two San Francisco couples find themselves traversing surprising boundaries of intimacy and relationships. When his wife Angela (Wilde) informs Joe (Seth Rogan) that she has invited their upstairs neighbors Pina (Penelope Cruz) and Hawk (Edward Norton) to dinner, he smolders with resentment. In an outburst of passive-aggressive revenge, he seizes the opportunity to tell them how disruptive their frequent lovemaking is. What ensues in Will McCormack and Rashida Jones’s adaptation of a 2020 Spanish film is tremendously funny and poignant as the straitlaced Angela and Joe find themselves surprised and challenged by the far less traditional sexual mores of Pina and Hawk. All four actors are tremendous as the banter ranges from back trouble to butt plugs, but at its heart, this smart and hilarious movie is about the immense challenges of love and sex and how to set the groundwork for repair. —Rod Armstrong
