Movie Reviews

San Jose Mercury News - 8/10 by Randy MyersSexy and soapy, this modern-day romance about sexually adventurous couples mixing things up is a gem.
AfterElton.com - 7/10 by Brian JuergensIt may have the trappings of your everyday NYC indie, but it stands apart for exploring love and lust in a world where sexuality and race aren't the sources of the drama.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Gary GoldsteinAside from a few missing transitional beats and one too many coincidental encounters, the picture's fluid, zigzagging sexuality and emotional high-diving prove largely credible and diverting.
The Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by Stephen FarberEvans directs energetically, and the personable actors help to keep us involved, but the picture skims stubbornly along the surface.
Variety - 6/10 by Andrew BarkerFull of warmth and refreshingly matter-of-fact sexuality, the film has its heart in the right place, yet it’s ultimately a bit blander than its subject matter ought to demand, and its chamber-piece intimacy and pileup of coincidences scan particularly awkwardly given its convincingly wide-open depiction of New York.
Slant Magazine - 4/10 by Bill WeberKen Urban, adapting his own play, fumbles at injections of urban, and decidedly not urbane, levity, in addition to telegraphing entire subplots.
Time Out - 4/10 by David FearKudos to Evans for making up for the galling lack of gay African-American screen representation while delivering hot-body eroticism, but reducing complex relationship issues to a typical indie-flick blatherathon—complete with performances of varying quality and stilted dialogue—isn’t helping anyone.
Village Voice - 4/10 by Ernest HardyThe cast—and Evans's deft hand with them—makes it worth checking out.
New York Times - 4/10 by Jeannette CatsoulisThe actors are so relaxed and personable that the film’s occasional glibness — and its over-reliance on coincidence to further the cross-pollinating narrative — is easy to let slide.
New York Post - 3/10 by Farran Smith NehmeA movie about bisexuals sounds fresh and fun on paper, but a sensitive acoustic song under the opening credits shows exactly where The Happy Sad is going. Deadly earnestness and sex don’t mix well at the movies.
