On the advice of a friend Lainey contacts Jake, and they go on one date where they confess their sexual problems to one another. At the end of the date Jake confesses that he wants to sleep with her; however, Lainey insists that they should just be friends and Jake agrees with the safe word \"mousetrap\" to be used to deflate sexual tension between them.
A date with Chris leads Lainey to run into Matthew and his now-pregnant wife. At the same time, Jake has sex with Paula and calls her Lainey. After their nights out, Jake and Lainey spend the night together where they realize that they are in love with each another; however, they do nothing about it, afraid to mess up their relationship.
After the debut of her last film, Bachelorette, Headland became what she would later define as \"suicidally depressed\" noting that at one point \"I was literally wondering, Should I check myself into a psych ward\" To help cope with this she went to Big Sur where she \"wrote all day and all night\".[4] She realized she wanted to write a movie about sex addiction after entering into a relationship with someone who was already seeing another person, recalling that at one point she drove to his house \"I just started crying hysterically. I pulled over and just kept crying. It was sort of like, What is my problem right now Is it that I'm in love with him Is it that I feel guilty Is it that I'm doing something I don't want to do\"[5] From the start she did not set out to make a romantic comedy although when she realized she was making one she wanted to make sure \"that it all felt very believable\".[4]
Look, this is funny, and I enjoyed its frankness, and the leads are very good, and I don't usually pull this kind of shit but I had a really hard time giving a damn about two incredibly hot people (one of whom is pretty rich) who feel super bad about constantly fucking other incredibly hot people. They should call this movie SEXUAL FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS.
As Jake and Lainey banter endlessly, and sometimes amusingly, it never occurs to them that being in a relationship with each other might actually solve their problems. Their obliviousness feels more like a romantic-comedy convention than anything that arises organically from the characters, try as Headland might to give her leads more layers than the genre norm.
Love, when it is right, can be the most powerful thing. It can bring people together or tear people apart. It can save or break lives. When it is right, it can make you sharper and stronger with every passing day. As viewers witness in the love story of Lainey and Jake, love can be worth it.
Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie have transitioned back and forth between film and television. While \"SNL\" alum Sudeikis has prominently starred in hit mainstream comedies Horrible Bosses and We're the Millers, Brie (best known for \"Community\") has held supporting roles in The Five Year Engagement and Get Hard. The two actors are the leads of Sleeping with Other People, an indie romantic comedy written and directed by Bachelorette's Leslye Headland.The film opens in 2002, with Lainey (Brie) and Jake (Sudeikis) taking each other's virginities on the rooftop couch of his Columbia University dorm. We jump ahead to the present day in which neither has forgotten that one-night stand. Each holds a fear of commitment. While Jake is dumped by his casual girlfriend over his sleeping with her best friend, Lainey confesses to her beau (Adam Brody) that she has cheated on him sixteen times. Lainey and Jake reconnect outside a sex addicts' meeting that each is attending on others' recommendations.They click on a date but show better judgment than to follow their urges to the bedroom, instead establishing a safe word (\"mousetrap\") to prevent things from getting sexually charged between them. Thus begins a close and unconventional friendship. Jake uses an empty green tea bottle to demonstrate to Lainey how she can masturbate to climax. She confides in him regarding her longtime relationship with his boring classmate, gynecologist Matthew Sobvechik (a mustachioed and deliberately unlikable Adam Scott), whom she cannot bring herself to quit even if he's engaged.We recognize the obvious mutual attraction between these two candid friends, but the movie makes us wait to play out in the exact manner we expect. Jake starts up a relationship with the divorced boss (Amanda Peet) at the tech company that he and his friend (Jason Mantzoukas) sold out to. Lainey casually begins dating a single dad (Marc Blucas) who uses his son to pick her up at a child's birthday party, where she led a spontaneous dance lesson on Ecstasy.Sleeping has occasional insight into the messiness of relationships, the challenges of monogamy, and the difficulty that attraction plays in maintaining a friendship with the opposite sex. As an indie (the film was produced by Gloria Sanchez Productions, a newly launched female-driven division of Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's signature Gary Sanchez Productions), there is no pressure to deliver a couple of jokes every minute, enabling this When Harry Met Sally...-esque will-they/won't-they romance to unfold at a relaxed pace, with some unforeseeable if not particularly interesting turns. Both Sudeikis and Brie compel in their roles, which goes a long way to securing their characters the sympathy their actions and love lives would otherwise endanger.While it may be smarter and more explicit than your mainstream romantic comedy, Sleeping isn't noticeably more satisfying. The climax leans heavily on an absurd public fight, the kind of spectacle that undermines the adult New York realism the movie otherwise maintains. Ultimately, it's difficult to share the movie's desire for these two leads to find happiness either together or apart.Sleeping with Other People is the last IFC Films title to reach retail from Paramount Home Media Distribution in a four-movie arrangement signed May 2015 following their partnership on Richard Linklater's Boyhood. Like Clouds of Sils Maria (the first of the four), Sleeping is released only on DVD and digital, not Blu-ray, although the DVD does include a Digital HD copy with your purchase.
Jake (Jason Sudeikis) and Lainey (Alison Brie) have each destroyed every relationship they've ever had because they have trouble with monogamy -- he sleeps with just about anyone, while she's been having an affair for years with a married doctor. When the two meet (at a meeting for sex addicts), it's clear they're attracted to each other, but they decide not to fall into bed so they can instead try to form a healthy platonic friendship. Soon they become best friends, even while SLEEPING WITH OTHER PEOPLE. It's clear their attraction is still growing, but it's less clear whether they'll ever act on those feelings. Or if they should.
\"Freeheld\" - Oct. 2In another fact-based drama set before the nationwide ruling for same-sex marriage, New Jersey cop Laurel Hester (Julianne Moore) and her domestic partner Stacie Andree (Ellen Page) struggle to secure Hester's pension benefits when she is diagnosed with terminal cancer. The movie also stars Steve Carell, Josh Charles and Michael Shannon.
\"Sleeping With Other People\" follows Jake (Sudeikis) and Laney (Brie), who meet almost by accident in college. The two lose their virginity to each other, and then don't speak for many years. During their time away, Jake becomes a womanizer while Laney transforms into a serial cheater. They once again meet by chance and instead of sleeping together, they attempt a platonic friendship to help them both change their ways. Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into my sex addicts anonymous meeting.
Lainey (Alison Brie) loses her virginity to Jake (Jason Sudeikis) at college and then for the intervening years they sleep with other people only to realise that maybe the only person they want to sleep with is each other, or do they
Which perhaps was the best thing about the movie, to be honest. For their relationship, despite starting off as a one-night stand, blossoms into a believable relationship. One in which they go from awkward conversations, and awkward dates, to hanging around the house watching movies and eating ice cream; then there comes everyone seeing them as a couple, and it looking natural and not something the movie is forcing you to believe; then, to top it all off, even when they get paired up with other people, you like them together so much that you at least hope they remain friends. For their chemistry, and scenes, are so good you just want them to maintain some sort of contact. Especially in light of how much he helps her discover herself, and perhaps worth to a bit, and how she helps him discover that perhaps she might have not only been his first but everything he might have ever looked for in all the women since her.
The whole plot revolves around serial infidelity (and ultimately breaking that pattern). The main characters agree not to sleep together, despite their obvious attraction, but both engage in plenty of sex with others; several scenes show them in bed (and other locations), moving, grunting, and eventually falling down exhausted. Several woman are seen in their underwear, but no graphic nudity is shown. Several graphic verbal descriptions of various sexual activities. While high, a character takes off her shirt, revealing a red bikini top, and tries to get children to join her in an uninhibited dance.
In 2002, Lainey (Brie) causes a scene in a dorm at Columbia University. Taking pity on her as she is about to be kicked out by security, Jake (Sudeikis) claims her as his guest. He learns that Lainey was there in order to lose her virginity to her T.A., Matthew, who Jake thinks is the most boring guy in the world. Lainey eventually realizes that Jake is also a virgin, and the two lose their virginity to each other. Twelve years later, they have both developed extremely toxic sex lives. Jake cannot commit to any relationship and usually sabotages it by cheating, while Lainey has had a series of failed relationships while carrying on an affair with Matthew (Scott). At a support group for sex-addicts, they run into each other and decide to try to maintain a platonic relationship despite their mutual attraction. 59ce067264
