Ellis (Kuno Becker) and Renee (Eliza Dushku) are a young couple who've grown tired of one another, and though they're still in love, they aren't sure how to reignite the spark in their relationship. Elsewhere, James (Macaulay Culkin) and Heather (Alexis Dziena) are another young couple who are having trouble in the bedroom; he's not as attracted to her as he once was, and she's determined to do something about it. Heather arranges for her and James to attend a lecture by relationship therapist Dr. Wellbridge (Joanna Miles), where they meet Ellis and Renee. In a private meeting with Dr. Wellbridge, the two couples are encouraged to swap partners as a way of breaking up the monotony and confronting their problems, but after a few days together the four know more about one another and their troubles than they ever expected to learn. Sex and Breakfast was the first feature film from writer and director Miles Brandman. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times
Despite an attractive cast and a few nice moments, Sex and Breakfast is just not that exciting.
-
John Anderson, Variety
A tortured talkfest with a premise far less ripe than its title.
-
Stephen Farber, Hollywood Reporter
Turgid and pointless.
-
Karina Longworth, SpoutBlog
The only thing shameful about Sex and Breakfast is its unwillingness to get really shameful.
-
Christopher Null, Filmcritic.com
And lest you're curious about the title: There is actually more time given to breakfast in the film than to sex.
