Our take
When Ashley asks for a divorce, good-natured Carey turns to friends Julie and Paul for support in this MA 15+ comedy. Their happiness rests on an open marriage, and that shocks him until he crosses a line and throws every relationship into chaos. Strong language, sexual content, and scary moments ride along. ClearAge leans toward 16 for mature older teens and adults.
Uplifting themes
The story keeps asking whether honesty beats the open-marriage shortcuts the couples try along the way. It never hands over a tidy moral by the end
