Reseñas destacadas
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.
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!

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.
What would a family comedy sex film look like? Well, it would look like this film. Nothing graphic, lots of innuendo, and a lot of heart and a main storyline that I think a lot of us can relate to - putting off personal dreams for family responsibility. It's very low budget but that gives it a lot of its charm - it's a film that practices what it preaches - butt sex jokes aside... If you like your humor heartfelt but a little crude, then you will enjoy this film.
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.

¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesPer the plot of the film, the main character (Frank Tsigas) must lose 50 pounds in 3 months to win a bet with his wife. As the lead actor playing Frank, George A. Tramountanas (in addition to writing, directing, and producing the movie) actually lost 50 pounds over the three months they shot the film. This also necessitated that the production shoot all of the Frank scenes in chronological order over the 12 weekends that they filmed.
- PifiasThe woman who said "I thought her phone was on vibrate" was not present when Laura told the other woman that her phone was on vibrate, so she could not know that the phone was supposed to be on vibrate. The wrong woman was speaking.
