Sleeping with Other People

Sleeping with Other People written and directed by Leslye Headland, starring Alison Brie, Jason Sudeikis, Adam Scott, Jason Mantzoukas, Margarita Levieva, and Amanda Peet.

Romantic comedies are only made good by two things: chemistry and character.  This movie has both of those as it further explores the themes brought up with When Harry Met Sally, that is can a man and woman just be friends without having sex.  The answer is obviously no but Alison Brie and Jason Sudeikis share some wonderful scenes together as their chemistry sparkles along with their distinct personalities.  A good romantic movie if not a little more crude on some levels than normal, not in a shocking, gross out comedy way but in a real life conversational type of way that doesn't feel exploitative, only more natural like two friends just talking things through, and that fits in perfectly with the movie.
