‘Sleeping With Other People’ Red Band Trailer: Jason Sudeikis & Alison Brie Are Too Friendly
Romantic comedies usually don’t impress me. They’re just not my cup of tea unless I really like the on-screen talent involved. More often than not it’s the indie romantic comedies that bring something fresh enough to shake up the subgenre to make it entertaining and sincere, and that’s exactly what happens withSleeping with Other People.
The Sundance selected movie fromBachelorettewriter and directorLeslye HeadlandfeaturesAlison BrieandJason Sudeikisas two two sex addicts unable to commit to real relationships who decide to hold each other accountable for their destructive behavior and strike up quite the strong bond. So strong that they begin to act like a couple, even though they’re not, and you know what that means
This is an R-rated romantic comedy so the newSleeping with Other Peoplered band trailer is the best way to get the right vibe from this hilarious, authentic romance. Watch the new trailer below!
Here’s the trailer, originally fromYahoo:
I was lucky enough to see the movie at Sundance back in January, and inmy review from the festival, I wrote:
“Sleeping with Other Peopleisn’t exactly groundbreaking, but it’s the perfect way to pull off romance, by making it believable, satisfying, funny and endearing. Headland has crafted a script chock full of authentic characters and conversations, and it comes together wonderfully in front of the camera thanks to Sudeikis, who should be a bona fide star after this film is released, and Brie, bringing the alluring combination of being sexy and lovely, even when her character is making terrible decisions.”
In addition, Sudeikis really puts in a breakthrough performance, “delivering not just the hilarious, off the cuff banter we’ve come to expect, but some surprisingly subtle spellbinding gentlemanly charm, like a mix of Chevy Chase and Tom Hanks.”
If you’re looking for a good date movie (though not a first date movie since it gets pretty sexy and raunchy), this will be the perfect ticket next week. If you need more convincing check out the first trailer (complete with a quote from yours truly)right here.
