Plot Synopsis
Storyline
In Los Angeles, Annie and Darren are a married couple in a comfortable relationship that's lost its spark. They talk constantly, express affection verbally, start the day with high-end coffee, end the afternoon with gelato, shop at the farmer's market, prepare dinner as a team, do crossword puzzles, and talk in bed. Darren wonders if a one-night stand would help bring more sex to their marriage. Soon, the two of them are laying out the ground rules and talking through the mechanics of each finding a lover for one night. They agree to give each other no details about the experience. The night comes. Will this give their relationship a needed boost? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

Yea.. has a few spoiler details..so maybe wanna read it after. The review numbers do not accurately reflect how good this film is.. for this is one of the best movies I've seen so far this year. At first I thought his persona and character did not work for me at all, but then I realized that might be exactly what she had been going for (hair constantly and annoyingly falling into the face and all). Too many films are labeled as 'master-works'.. probably wouldn't go that far in this instance, but for such a young talent she has created something very interesting, and it is exceptionally well done, and totally memorable.. with acting most assuredly award worthy. You will definitely watch it more than once.. and without doubt it goes into the 'movie library.' Her character goes out as planned, and does exactly what they agreed to do.. to seek out and engage in an unemotional one night sexual encounter. While his plots and schemes, and winds up having a quickie 'affair' (sex or not.. we're really not quite sure what happens with him that night). Then he most aggressively drags the guilty admission out of her (although it was something they both had agreed they were not going to talk about), and then with relish he proceeds to thoroughly crush her, with mean-spirited name calling and profanity. He proves how broken their relationship is with his hurtful tirade. Yea, it was a terrible idea from the get go (unless you just want to blow it up), but what he does, and how he reacts, proves totally who's the real 'loser' in this pairing... she stays with him she deserves what she gets. I cannot wait to see more of this girl's work... bravo Katie!!
