Sex and Breakfast Reviews:
A bit too long to start 
2008-06-28 - Very good film of author, a bit too long to start and we would like some more.
The distribution is excellent, and we take time to know the characters... Too much for my taste.
We would like to have some more: to know what it occurs in their head after their experiment. Will there be repeats?
I've been announced this film as being a comedy, but it is more one drama of manners.
The reactions are realistic (though some other reviews say) and I would have preferred that this vision is looked further into. To see this film in couple can certainly bring a certain discussion.
The play of the actors is right and the realization is without too many artifices. The soundtrack is amazing.
Admittedly a good entertainment but we remain on our appetite.
In my humble opinion, it takes too much time to try to know the protagonists; we would like to really know what occurs AFTER...
Still, it is a good movie it's worth seeing...
Eh, It was Okay...This
2008-04-21 - This movie had 3 chacters that i know of, and the only reason why i got it. But also the fact that this movie lacked alot of scenes. It was more like half of the movie was sold and the other half is missing. all chacters did well. However watch the movie for u're self, because everyone has a different taste bud.
Cute. somewhat annoying, but, OK
2008-04-06 - cute.
OK - I just can not in any way, as hard as I may try, I can't think of Macaulay Culkin as sexy. no way. he is and will always be the cute, goofy little boy in Home Alone. the one that my son wanted to be just like as he grew up watching Home Alone 10 times a week.
why did he get cast in this? did he buy his way in? maybe he has connections? I dunno. but, sorry, he is NOT sexy. he doesn't look old enough to have being having sex! (yes, I know he got married at like 16. aggggg.)
OK, on to the movie. sorry.
it was cute. sort of sexy. I really liked the man in the other couple. I like that woman too. the girl that was doing the diddly with little Kevin, don't know her name, but, she showed her ass in "Broken Flowers" ? I believe, the one with Bill Murray. and she was in that sad canceled alien TV show. she is adorable - for a 12 year old. (again, am I getting old, but, these kids look too young to be "doing it"!!)
the sex therapist part was silly and ridiculous. plus, I kept thinking how do these very young couples afford a sex therapist? don't they know they can just go to craig's list to get all that wife swapping for free?
if you want mindless, sort of cute, pretty young couples that get jiggy - go for it. not horrible. not on my top 100 fav list, missed by about 4000.
thanks! SS

Twentysomethings Falling In & Out of Love
2008-01-31 - Sex and Breakfast is about two twentysomething couples going through the usual relationship problems. Miles Brandman's film examines how these couples communicate (and also how they fail to do so) we each other. At times, this film wants to be the next sex, lies, and videotape for the new Millennium with its frank talk about sex, disaffected twentysomethings and an independent film aesthetic, including the requisite indie rock soundtrack. Sadly, Sex and Breakfast is closer to one of the many wannabes that came out in the wake of Sex, Lies' success, like Bodies, Rest & Motion, Sleep With Me, and countless others since. The writing is competent but hardly exceptional and the leads acquit themselves just fine. There is nothing explicitly revealed visually and the issues that are raised are not dealt with in any daringly original way or with any kind of complexity, like in Sex, Lies and Videotape.
Sex and Breakfast only really gets interesting at the film's conclusion. If more time had been spent on this part, we might have had a better film. Its fatal flaw is that the film fails to examine its themes in a deeper, more meaningful way and the end result is a fine, if average attempt.
