(read more) A sweet and sly comedy, Seeing Other People centers around Ed (Jay Mohr, Jerry Maguire) and Alice (Julianne Nicholson, Ally McBeal), who have an idyllic relationship--so stable that, only a few months before their wedding, Alice worries that she's missed out; she's only slept with two other men before Ed. Anxious about her lack of experience, she proposes that they start seeing other people so she can have cheap, meaningless sex. But after a promising start that revitalizes their relationship, this arrangement starts spinning off in dangerous directions. Attention to psychological detail--as well as a great cast, a well-written script, and smooth, underplayed direction--keep Seeing Other People from slipping into the usual clichés of broad sex comedies. The result is clever, genuine, and enjoyable. Also featuring Andy Richter (New York Minute), Lauren Graham (The Gilmore Girls), Josh Charles (S.W.A.T.), and Helen Slater (Supergirl). --Bret Fetzer

But I think it works in it's favor giving it a more quirky angle. I loved Alice her character was the most fun in the film. I really liked her conflictness throughout the film. It was nice to see Lauren Graham play a bitch she was so good at it.
This was just OK - we have a year of free Showtime and so are watching everything.
If you really love your woman, you should let her sleep around... no, wait, what?
Better than I expected, it was quite well-written. Dragged a bit toward the end but very decent.
Begins as a refreshingly subversive departure from the Hollywood studios' cookie-cutter romances, but the thin script can't sustain that initial charge, and it soon flattens out, like a punctured comic balloon.
awesome movie. ridiculous concept but something a lot of us probably think of. the ending was predictable, but in watching the special features on the DVD, it was going to originally end the way it would have if I was Ed.
Didn't really care about any of the characters but the movie's still an amusing watch. Predictable yet moderately entertaining. Kinda lost interest after the first half though.

There are so many different pairings to keep track of that the movie loses focus and becomes a juggling act.full review
