Bitterly funny indy film about love and lust.
This is a terrific little overlooked film, worth watching with your mate especially if you’re having problems! Themes of jealousy and lust and friendship are mined by a top rate ensemble cast- Tilly and Stolz especially have a great believable chemistry- and features standout cameos by Parker Posey and Joey Lauren Adams. Obviously made on a shoestring budget, this film dares to go to those uncomfortable places in relationships that we all experience, but rarely see in films because of the big budget studio whitewashing. Worth a look or two.

Off-beat, funny, and poignant
Unlike the standard Hollywood romance, this movie gives us a realistic view of people. The characters are quirky, neurotic, confused, and not really very glamorous. They are also very likeable, as we can sympathize and identify with the dilemmas they create for themselves. Even as the movie pokes fun at them for their foibles, there is also a tenderness for them and the self-imposed suffering they must endure.The plot revolves around a friendship between 2 men and a woman. When one of the men (Eric Stoltz) marries the woman (Meg Tilly), the angst and complications begin. Although the course of the story seems foreseeable (not a lot of surprises), the film escapes being predictable by having believable characters that are like people many of us know or could know from our own lives.In addition, the structure is unusual….the different sections of this film were written by different writers, yet all parts do seem integrated with the whole. Add to this the fact that the scenes are seemingly artlessly put together, so that often there is almost a documentary effect….what you end up with is an experiment in film making that doesn’t require you to have a film degree to appreciate.

Better-than-movie DVD jacket
The best friends love the same female. She got married Joseph, a first who confessed and proposed leaving an open space for Frank.The rest of a friends’ circle exchange their spouses and partners either while not avoiding same gender quickies sometimes.Well, this work leaves really a broad room for further explorations the characters might be enjoy in the future.

Fave film of all time!
I LOVE this film and was rapt to find it so cheap online. Only negative is the dvd doesn’t have great bonus features – but it’s a 90s film so I don’t really expect it. The movie is very funny – a kind of alternative rom-com about a bunch of narcissistic gen Xers.

poker lovers moovie
This is one of my favorite movie. The interaction between the characters in conflict situations is so real. I love the scene in the living room were Stoltz and Tilley start getting into it. Its one of those scenes with dialogue flowing amongst a whole group of characters. The Umbrella scene seamlessly transitions from the realism of this movie into poetic romance that is absolute movie magic, with Tilley just lighting up the screen. Far all the discussion about the sword fight scene, at the end of the day, the funniest part of this movie is the poker scenes with Parker and the actress from Chasing Amy.I haven’t seen the DVD yet. Does it have any special features ?

Dated But Hasn’t Lost Its Touch
This is no reflection on the quality of the film, but Sleep With Me loses its edge after ten years. It’s full of witty, 90’s style banter. This was a great film when romantic comedies were in. The actors were hilarious and I enjoyed Craig Sheffer for the first time ever. I don’t watch a lot of his films but this one is entertaining. I saw it in 1994 and was hooked on it then. Since then my tastes have changed and I’ve gotten attached to other films. This is the perfect date movie providing a realistic, comedic look at the differences between women and men and the problems that can surface within a circle of friends.

Directed by relative unknown Rory Kelly, this film is a surprisingly fresh take on an old theme. With fine performances from Craig Sheffer, Meg Tilly and the always watchable Eric Stoltz in the lead roles, and with well casted supporting cast, the film explores the nature of modern romantic experience, and the intricate ideological patterns that have arisen thanks to changes in the dating game.Ideological may seem an odd word to use, but the film does support itself ready for deeper analysis, though the intelligence of both script and direction is hidden under an layer of comedy that simply adds to the overall watchability of the picture.While not a massive hit, the film enjoyed cult popularity, and I think its enduring success is largely thanks to the honesty with which it analyses its subject matter. Witty, intelligent, watchable and wise, this film is a must see for any aspiring script writer, not to mention critic.Oh, and of course Tarantino’s cameo analysis of Top Gun is of course worth watching in and of itself!
