What Other Couples Do

Good movie!

I'd like the person who greenlit this movie. I'd also like to meet the director or producer who didn't end the production shortly into principal photography. It is bad. Badly written, terribly cast, horribly acted. There is nothing redeeming about this. It's not compelling. It's the inside the mind of some insecure yuppy's late night anxiety attack. This is clearly bad.

Kind of a different theme. Until this movie I don't recall ever hearing of 7 minutes in Heaven before. For such a low budget, I think this movie holds up real well. Acting was not bad. Storyline was carrying but not riveting. Watching the credits it seems there has to have been well over one hundred people who put this film together. With an estimated budget of $50k I'm astounded how little pay everyone must have made. Anyone know if this was ever at the theaters or dvd or straight to TV?

What a charming film What Other Couples Do is. I watched this film on Amazon Video and knew nothing about it beforehand but pressed play anyways. Four Couples attend a dinner party and whilst the plot summary does talk about them all playing "Seven Minutes In Heaven' (a kissing in a cupboard game) The film is actually more about us observing the couples not only interact with the other couples, but its also about watching them interact with themselves. Anyone who is in a relationship will be able to see themselves in some or one of these couples. So if you are feeling like you need to make some changes in your life or just sort your brain out. What Other Couples Do is a great indie film that will give you food for thought. It also kind of works as a grown up version of The Breakfast Club. A set of people all in a single place for a given time and will they learn any lessons or come out worse than they were before they entered? Great film!

"What Couples Do" is a broad claim for this myopic tale of rich, white people feeling unsatisfied over their boring lives. Aside from boredom, the characters face no real conflict. Then it ends.

Fifteen minutes into the movie and I wanted to turned it off, but then decided to continue. What turned me off initially was the appearing "falkeness" of the characters. Then I decided it was intentional, it was a sarcastic portrayal of an average American couple (s) . An intentional exaggeration. Their empty conversations and dialogues were dismal and their bickering annoying, in my opinion. Then it became more interesting as the movie progressed. Some of the male actors were miscast. None of them looked much older than 26 years old Brad, however they were talking about themselves as if they were over 40 or approaching. The acting was just OK.

Four couples come together for a dinner at their wealthy friends' home and daringly decide to play "Seven Minutes in Heaven," risking ripping their relationships a part. Most the action, in "What Other Couples Do", takes place at this single location, but director and writer Courtney Daniels keeps the action going with witty dialogue and compelling characters. Daniels brings out the comedy in the relationships between men and women without losing the emotional honesty. It's the kind of movie that makes you think and want to chat about it afterward because some how it manages to be about every relationship. This indie film is well worth watching.

If possible, the obvious 0 chemistry between any of the actors is made worse by their stuffy, dull scripts and lack of talent. Feels very awkward the whole way through... Like a parody of every rom com but without any genuinely funny moments. Don't waste your hours on this one.

Good movie!
