Well, George is living the Mr average life. A steady job, with a pretty if plain looking wife and the ubiquitous 2.5 children. He is slightly overweight as we all are, and the sex after kids is... well there if a little predictable. So, what better way to spice something up in the bedroom than make an impossible bet. Essentially lose 50lbs in 3 months and you can have "butt" sex. It turns out to be a drawn out blog that we all ride along with him to see if he can lose the weight and claim his star, (no pun intended). What it tries to do is approach a quite taboo subject and try and normalise it. This film is classed as independent and for the most part it does have that feel. I won't spoil the end but laugh out comedy it isn't, more of a smirk here and there. It's not a bad film, but at the same time it's not a film you will rush back to see.

Just finished watching this gem and I have a sappy smile on my face. Anyone expecting some sort of soft core film will be very disappointed. This is a little low budget independent film about thinking back on your life choices, where you've ended up, regrets, and the good stuff you've got right under your nose, basically about everyday life at a certain time in that life. The acting is quite amatuer, and the film isn't as polished as it could be, but it has heart, it's funny, it's a feel good film about everyday nice people just getting on with it. If you're looking for something to laugh along to, and want to feel good at the end, then this will tick those boxes. Anyone reviewing this low must of had either a bad day or thought they were getting a porno, and this as they say in the end is just a family comedy. Well done to eveyone involved in making this.

Ok, i see a lot of really harsh reviews for this movie and i can understand what some are saying - BUT - this is more than just a movie. This movie is the american dream and i have nothing but respect for the efforts put forward... no, not because of the silly bet he makes... In real life, this guy has a dream. He wants to make that dream a reality. So with a very low budget, he writes, directs and stars in his own movie (how awesome is that?!)... he's TRYING to manifest his own wishes. How can you not love that?? Think of this movie as a four track demo that he wants to get into the hands of a big studio exec Now, make no mistakes, the acting is really not good (i'm trying to be kind)... the premise is a little silly, a little old fashioned i guess (is his goal THAT big of a deal these days), the writing itself is not all that great either, although, would probably seem much better with a better cast delivering these lines, but there are actually SOME parts that are legitimately funny (ie: the car scene when the son falls and the woman won't/can't get out to help him because...) the camera work and overall direction - eh, but as a body of work, and as a man trying to make his own way and follow his dreams, how can you not root for this guy?? Yes, we're basically watching a film students work. The movie itself is not good, but i can really appreciate the fight! Does no good to make the others feel bad about it all.

Yes it is an adult comedy! Very believable and fun Indie comedy! The actors were amazing and did a great job. The story line is fun and the actors made the characters come alive. I would watch this film again, not many you could say that about. Some movies you skip parts but you won't want to skip them with this film.

Original script, clever storyline and just downright funny! It's honest, real life, for those who aren't prudish. Who hasn't enticed their partner with a sexual incentive now and again?!? Many laugh out loud moments!

Awesome movie with a surprising and warm, family theme, running throughout. The movie has three perspectives being presented; the husband and wife, the wife and her friends; and the husband and his friends. There's a lot of subtle (and not so subtle) humor that's everywhere during the movie. Pay close attention to the intro and credits. The little IT jokes, the 'passing addresses' mom's group at the school and Paulie's speech are hilarious. The whole movie was laugh out loud funny. The movie is Unrated, but it's really more PG-13 than R (but lots of F bombs). Despite the adult theme, there's no sex or nudity. It was only $6 ... buy the movie!

10 stars! This film is more than the title would lead you to believe. Some would say it's immature and I say they are missing the point. This is a fun film you could watch with your family. It may have some sexual topics (gasp!) but the real conversations and lack of violence (but 'Merica?) is a wonderful change of pace. The premise is hilarious and the family feels really bring it home. Are you a creative with dreams that never got off the ground before life got in the way? Do you have new years resolutions that never actualized? If you're tired of big budget unoriginal reboots and want to see a film created with real people while laughing along the way, then this time is well spent!

The movie is incredibly funny and has a ton of heart. You'll think back to those feel-good comedies that we all grew up with but don't see anymore. Give it a try-- you won't be disappointed.

Degenerate filth masked in comedy. Seriously making a film about a guy that if he loses 50lb's will get An*l Sex with his Wife. Wow and having Child actors in the mix as well. No wonder the worlds a mess with this type of tripe being pushed out there like its something good.
