They talk constantly, express affection verbally, start the day with high-end coffee, end the afternoon with gelato, shop at the farmer's market, prepare dinner as a team, do crossword puzzles, and talk in bed. Darren wonders if a one-night stand would help bring more sex to their marriage.

The night comes. Will this give their relationship a needed boost?
Leave your thoughts about The Freebie.
| Village VoiceNick PinkertonNone of the dialogue, presumably arrived at through improvisation, is either funny or memorable. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleAselton gets a lot said in 78 minutes. I think the main thing she says is something never overtly spoken, that life is essentially a lonely experience - even when we're surrounded by activity, and even if we never shut up. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenA smart seriocomic playlet with some emotionally harsh moments, although it refrains from plumbing its subject in agonizing depth. |
| Shared DarknessBrent SimonSomething of an emotional-psychological cheat. The big emotional argument to which the film builds is inherently less interesting than what causes that action -- all of which remains unaddressed. |
| Metromix.comMatt PaisLove's fragile intangibles rarely feel so visible. Viewers with a wandering eye may feel like they've gotten something out of their system. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinThis engaging, nicely observed look at a 30ish L.A. couple who allow each other a one-night stand to help reheat their 7-year-old marital bed moves quickly and simply. |
| NewsweekJennie YabroffLow concept, maybe, but still something to talk about at your next dinner party. |
| New York PressEric KohnThe result is less of a movie than a sketch -- but a perceptive one |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldThough the dialogue explores some interesting territory, the couple remain elusive and a little dull; we never learn anything about them beyond the subject at hand, so they seem to exist in an odd, screenwriting-exercise vacuum. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenAn intimate, witty comedy-drama that evokes thoughts of 'The Seven Year Itch' |
