Nude Celebs: Juliette Alexander - It occurs to me that if you're going to make a comedy drama, you should include one of two things: comedy or drama. This 2001 effort was short on both.
The story, done many times and much better, tells of two couples, the men best friends since childhood, the wives also close friends. As they struggle through their early thirties, they all begin to yearn for the things they've missed, and they decide to swap wives for one night. Things get really complicated when one of the men feels such guilt and love for his wife that he can't go through with it, but his wife and the other guy do.
This thing laid a big egg with me. It had damned few funny parts and no real drama, the characters weren't especially sympathetic nor realistic, and at the end of 85 minutes you ask yourself why you bothered........Oh, I know why. To cap Ruby the Stripper, who incidentially, is Bunny from HBO's G-String Divas.
