What could have been a dark and zany Coen Brothers style comedy about mistaken identity, kidnap and kinky antics, comes across as more of a mediocre Brit sitcom collision with a “Confessions of…” reboot. Writer/directors Ross Aitken and James Browning’s low brow/budget sex comedy strives to shock with bawdy humour and reckless audacity but suffers from a lack of likeable characters, well-honed story-telling, craft and imagination.
The set-up introduces us to Ben (Daniel Curshen) and Charlie (Genna Foden), a professional couple on the cusp of middle-age, whose relationship survives solely because of their experimental sex lives. While dogging, swinging and doing whatever it takes to keep the lust for each other alive, the couple’s adventures go south after Ben hires someone to kidnap them as part of a role play experience.
The plot doesn’t stretch much beyond the high concept but Kidnap Me is efficiently...
