Eight short films explore the subject of male infidelity. Serial cheaters, Fred and Greg, spend a night on the town doing what they do best, and with absolutely no regrets. The duo play various characters in assorted extracurricular situations, ranging from sexist to the darker sides of carnal desires.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
Often funny, outrageously vulgar in places and very, very French.
There’s enjoyably smutty comedy to spare... but the film’s bleakest segments are actually its strongest.
If only the transitions in and out of the dollops of broad sex comedy weren't such a bumpy ride.
The Hollywood Reporter by Jordan Mintzer
A slick, occasionally hilarious but ultimately uneven appraisal of France’s favorite extramarital pastime.
Village Voice by Michael Nordine
An extended riff on marital infidelity, this is the rare omnibus film that isn't just a mixed bag -- it very nearly succeeds at being uniformly bad.
It’s a series of pointless, boorish skits about two unrepentant lotharios.
Greater female input might have alleviated the film’s tiresome chauvinism.
