Mortal Fools

Helen and Alex are having a housewarming party/sleepover. The guest list includes Helen's ex, Dimi (who wants her back), Alex's coworker, Jen (whom he's secretly attracted to), and their gay friends Nigel and Eddie. NOT included on the guest list are Danny and Suzanne, who supernaturally and invisibly pop in from another realm. To amuse himself, Danny messes with the minds of all of the attendees, causing bed-swapping shenanigans to ensue.

This is a goofy adaptation of Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream." What it has going for it the most is characterization. Each character is very well-defined and the actors play them to the hilt. It was easy to became invested and remain entertained by the dialogue when the clothes began to come off.

Where I felt like the movie failed a bit was in establishing Danny's and Suzanne's origins. It became crystal clear by the very end (with a twist that I didn't see coming), but all throughout, I kept wondering what the deal was with these so-called angels.

Lots of funny moments, brief flashes of skin, and kooky sci-fi elements. Nothing groundbreaking, but not a bad little sex comedy.
