Appearances would suggest that published novelist Mason (Steve Sandvoss) and twenty-something fashion designer Samantha (Courtney Ford) are the perfect couple; though unmarried, they live together, sleep together and shower together. At Samantha's sister Allison's (Ellen Hollman) beautiful spring wedding, however, Sam reencounters her ex-boyfriend, James (Brandon Routh), a surprise guest at the event. The two rekindle their old romance. But Samantha isn't the only one in this marriage with a wandering eye, because Mason begins flirting heavily with the 18-year-old Olivia (Shoshana Bush); the committed scribe and his younger paramour sneak into the hot tub for a particularly steamy encounter. Later spotted by Mason as she attempts to slink out of James' room undetected, Samantha decides to coming clean about the affair. Mason's response proves entirely unexpected. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

This movie explores the lives of a couple who have an open relationship. It's nicely done, but if the idea of an open relationship doesn't shock you it's just not that exciting. I did like the ending, though.

Interesting romance-drama.

Interesting story plot that centralizes around a young couple who embrace open relationships, but when various troubles arises. The solidarity of their relationship is tested. Brandon Routh, Courtney Ford, and Steve Sandvoss stars. Worthy!
