Duke (Baron Jay) is a realtor who isn't exactly struck by success when
trying to sell a mansion where a murder happened - so he and his poker
pals, all married, have the idea about renting the place themselves to
have a place to bring their affairs to. And in fact, it even gives most of
them to have affairs in the first place: Duke himself meets lovely Tuesday
(Jacke Moore), who might be a bit on the schizophrenic side with one of
her personas being a white supremacist, Tom (Michael Joseph) would have
never thought of cheating on his wife (Monica Davis), but there's
opportunity, and there are these two lovely girls (Aria London, Johanna
Rae) at his beauty salon who fall for his lie about the death of his wife
hook, line and sinker. Ron D (Trae Ireland) has been seeing Natalia
(Toktam Aboozary) for quite some time now before realizing her brother
Jamaal (Joe Karam) might be interested in stoning him for defiling his
sister. And then there's gay Juan (Chris Sapone), who starts seeing women
behind his husband Robert's (Alen Matters) back. Until he falls for Robert
in drag that is ... Anyways, it's not long before things get confusing
in the combo as it is, and eventually the guys' wives find out and
(independently from one another) make up schemes to get back at their
husbands ... Obviously taking its cues from classic Hollywood
comedies like The Apartment and Boeing Boeing at least on a
narrative level, this film nevertheless comes across as very fresh thanks
to a cleverly written script, colourful characters and fun situations -
things that just make a good comedy but are often forgotten in today's
cinema, both mainstream and indie. Now add to that a very solid
directorial effort that gives the comedy room to breathe on its own, and a
likeable ensemble cast, and you've just got yourself a pretty cool and
very entertaining movie.
