Sleeping With Other People

[projekktor id=’21424′]

Sleeping With Other People is a romantic comedy written and directed by Leslye Headland (Bachelorette). It had a Sundance Film Festival premiere this year and stars a great ensemble cast including Jason Sudeikis, Alison Brie, Natasha Lyonne, Amanda Peet, and Adam Scott.

Jason Sudeikis and Alison Brie star as two romantic failures whose years of serial infidelity and self-sabotage have led them to swear that their relationship will remain strictly platonic. But can love still bloom while you’re sleeping with other people?

In an interview with CinemaReview.com, Headland talked about the inspiration for the film. “Sleeping With Other People came to me while I was on vacation in San Francisco. I went there to write, and these characters and their stories just poured out of me. I knew it was the next project for me because it was extremely personal. I wanted to challenge myself not only to write about my past heartache, but to try and revitalize the romantic comedy for a modern generation. People trash talk the Rom Com, but it’s one of the oldest cinematic genres with stellar origins like Twentieth Century or Trouble In Paradise. I think as audiences lost their innocence the genre lost its suspense. To create suspense you need obstacles.”

Sleeping With Other People is rated 14A.
