Well acted with a script that keeps a good pace, although relying on circumstances that are perhaps somewhat less than believable. A film certainly worth a bit of your time.… Expand

The acting was fine, but the plot wasn't. The mere fact that the girl [Emma] in the movie couldn't suppress her libido ruined the movie for me. Probably because I hate movies with cheating girls.

Fantastic performance by Adam Scott - brilliant acting. Strong writing throughout despite some weak plot elements. Overall a very enjoyable dark comedy.

This movie is the representation of most of the human desires, some of which are seen as incorrect. It shows how a lie in a family can cause disruption through many years and how betrayal can be understood.
