A sweet and sly comedy, Seeing Other People centers around Ed (Jay Mohr, Jerry Maguire) and Alice (Julianne Nicholson, Ally McBeal), who have an idyllic relationship--so stable that, only a few months before their wedding, Alice worries that she's missed out; she's only slept with two other men before Ed. Anxious about her lack of experience, she proposes that they start seeing other people so she can have cheap, meaningless sex. But after a promising start that revitalizes their relationship, this arrangement starts spinning off in dangerous directions. Attention to psychological detail--as well as a great cast, a well-written script, and smooth, underplayed direction--keep Seeing Other People from slipping into the usual cliches of broad sex comedies. The result is clever, genuine, and enjoyable. Also featuring Andy Richter (New York Minute), Lauren Graham (The Gilmore Girls), Josh Charles (S.W.A.T.), and Helen Slater (Supergirl). --Bret Fetzer

Really? May 17, 2008

This is supposed to be a comedy about a dysfunctional relationship, but there's hardly anything funny about it. Ed, your garden variety nice guy is soon to wed Alice, a truly despicable neurotic who is supposedly experiencing a case of the "jitters". The whole story surrounds Alice's sudden desire to add a few more notches to her bedpost before tying the knot, an idea she manages to convince nearly everyone in her life (including her fiance Ed) will be healthy for their future marriage. Hilarity should ensue, but never does. Watching this trainwreck of a woman coldly and systematically destroy the lives and relationships of everyone in her self-absorbed little world made me cringe. I didn't think a whole lot more of Ed, who spinelessly complies despite his own misgivings. All the women in this story were completely unhinged, with the exception of Alice's pragmatic coworker Venita, who seemed amused by the whole thing. Most of the men were portrayed as hapless victims, bewildered and beset upon by this parade of female neurotics.

Yes, I hated the premise of this movie almost as much as that in Anger Management - where the main character's girlfriend stops at absolutely nothing, including destroying her lover's life, to get him to propose.

If you enjoy comedies about weak men and emasculating women, this is the movie for you.

Great little cautionary tale ... October 7, 2005
... about how important it is to really have a look at what you have on the home front before you go slumming for love and selling out for something other than "vanilla". Bottom line -- if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and sometimes rocky road is just that -- rocky.

This movie explains perfectly well the delicious contentment of having somebody to stay at home with and watch movies while doing laundry on Saturday nights. A rut or a cozy routine? Yep, there's a difference, and these characters find out the hard way. Practically everybody shoots themself in the foot, and a happy ending isn't guaranteed ... or maybe even deserved ... but it's still possible. That's the hopeful spirit chugging along behind this neo-cynical, sometimes potty-mouthed (it is!) indie film. Not for those afraid of seeing skin (don't say you weren't warned).

Jay Mohr was a great "everyman" leading male. Why didn't he get more roles? He is funny too -- any leading male nowadays really has to be, when you get right down to it, to be bankable (with the glaring exception of the humorless, increasily scarily-cyborgish Tom Cruise) -- but he was more than a one trick pony. Jay Mohr, come back! Come out to play! We miss you!

Lauren Graham's delivery of a crass, money-obsessed, shrewish character is a refreshing change from her "Lorelei Gilmore" persona, and though I'd prefer that any day of the week it's nice to see her play against type.

Not a movie I'd necessarily buy -- I saw it for free on cable -- (wait, does that count as free?!), but worth a watch if a) you like modern sex comedies with a smart flair, and/or b) you need a little refresher course in Reasons To Stay With The One You Love And Who Loves You, You Idiot 101.

Cosi Fan Tutti... May 27, 2005
6 out of 8 found this review helpful

"Seeing Other People" is a hilarious cautionary fable about what happens when we take important stuff for granted, like love and commitment. Wally Wolodarsky, the co-writer and director, used to write for "The Simpsons" and we get that same smart, sweet-and-sour satirical style here. Relatively innocent Julianne Nicholson comes to feel that she doesn't have enough "experience" before her upcoming marriage to nice but snarky sitcom-writer Jay Mohr, so she says they should have meaningless sex with other people before the vows are taken. She's sure they are "mature" enough to handle it. This magnificently dumb plan is followed by increasingly catastrophic consequences that include crack-smoking Harvard graduates, emotionally needy polygamists, a foul Englishman and his nasty wife, lots and lots of cats, and the worst three-way ever depicted on film. The old saws about "the grass is always greener" and "be careful what you wish for" have seldom been more memorably depicted. The exceptional cast includes Conan's Andy Richter as Mohr's good-guy friend; Josh Charles as his misogynist other friend; "Gilmore Girls" Lauren Graham as Nicholson's horrible, horrible sister; Helen Slater as an emotionally nuked divorcee; Liz Phair in a cameo as a yoga instructor; and last but not least, Bryan Cranston, delving depths of indignity unknown even as the dad on "Malcolm in the Middle", as Graham's bad-breathed, leering English husband. The film turns out to be generous, good-natured, and forgiving but there's some wonderfully funny bad behavior on the way.

What happens when someone has gone to far? May 27, 2005

Seeing other people was a great comedy that I enjoyed watching and that I highly recomend. The film is about two couples who are engaged and seem to be happy with each other but there seems to be a problem, during there engagment party Alice goes into her sister's room only to find out that one of her friends sneacking out to have sex with a complete stranger she endes up watching the whole thing in the closet. Soon she realises that she has not had a good sex life in the past and has asked her fiance (Jay Mohr) if they should see other people before they get married, at first he thinks that it might be a joke but things get serious when Alice meets a guy at her work, soon Jay Mohr's character gets fustrated because he is in love with her and never realised that she would do such a thing, but then he gets to have sex with other numerous women only to find out that the situation has become completly out of control, some of thier friends think that its a bad idea while one of Jay's character's friends thinks its a brilliant opritunaty. The story was pretty good and the idea was interesting as well as the cast of character's some of whom were really hillarious like Andy Richter and Lauren Graham as Alice's obnoxious sister. Overall the film deals with relationships, sex and dating in a very funny way and I suggest that you check it out if your looking for a great laugh.

Don't know what you got til it's gone March 17, 2005

It's a story of a girl who feels she's getting locked into marriage before she's gotten her kicks out and experienced the world - so they agree to see other people before getting married, and obviously, it doesn't work out, and everyone involved has to deal with how they've messed up a good thing(s). It's sadly believable, and a overall a feel-good movie. Both leads do a fantastic job portraying their parts.
