Sleeping with Other People (2015) (currently on US Netflix)

The heck? 64 is way too low of a Metacritic score for this hilarious gem of a modern rom-com - an especially tricky genre in these days without societal taboos, and with omnipresent communication/connectivity. If not for the fact that Sudeikis' character is improbably conveniently wealthy, and the slight demerit that the movie bows to genre formula in that each of the protagonists only seems to have one friend, I'd be tempted to call this a strong contender for rom-com of the decade. And maybe it is, though Obvious Child has a tad more bite, as I recall. Anyhow, definitely worth a watch with your significant other... or your friend-who-you-just-might-wish-were-more?
