Sometimes a movie is trying to be a lot smarter than it actually is. And then sillier (funnier) than it actually is. Now the actors here do try their best (one you may know from Modern Family, others from other stuff),but it never is really enough to push this past a certain mark.
I wish I was able to enjoy this more and I'm happy for anyone who could love this and had fun with it. Not joking and not meant condescending in any way. Anyone who can and has fun with something that is a win for that individual. I just want to point out that the likelihood of this movie being able to achieve this for you, is small to say the least. Then again by me lowering the bar, that might actually help you ...

Had Potential but Ruined by Awful Direction
This film begins with an attractive young woman named "Cameron Johnson" (Virginia Williams) asking her good friend "Kate Oliver" (Tammin Sursok) for permission to use her summer house in the Hamptons for the weekend. When Kate asks her what her plans are Cameron reveals that she has a date she would like to spend some time with. This shocks Kate because she knows that Cameron is married. It's then that Cameron tells her that she and her husband "Vince Johnson" (Jesse Bradford) have an arraignment where they are allowed to sleep around with strangers as long as they follow 10 basic rules. As it so happens, at that exact same moment, Vince is also telling Kate's boyfriend "Ben Roberts" (Chris Marquette) about their arraignment and encourages him to expand his horizons by asking Kate to allow another woman to join Ben and her in a threesome. However, when Ben does ask he is totally unprepared for Kate's response. For that matter, none of them are fully prepared for the pandemonium they unleash when they all try to fulfill their desires. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that there were some absolutely hilarious scenes in this film. Unfortunately, on more than a few occasions the director (Leslie Grief) wasn't apparently satisfied with that and kept pushing the envelope much too far--and by doing so he often turned a humorous scene into something that was quite vulgar and distasteful. That being said, I'm not sure if he was trying to make a statement or not but the end result wasn't something I particularly cared for and for that reason I have rated this film accordingly. Below average.
IT DON'T END UNTIL THE SUN SHINES
This is a young adult sex romp comedy, or at least tries to be funny. Cameron (Virginia Williams) and her husband (Jesse Bradford) have an open marriage. They attempt to convince Owen (Bryan Callen) and Kate (Tammin Sursok) they should try it. Through a series of circumstances they all end up at a Hampton house complete with a young naked man, two girls from Craig's List, a Brazilian bombshell, and a decorator.
While this is going on they try to hide it from a visiting author the guys want to sign. Confusion mounts as signs of infidelity are all around.
The film wasn't funny. It took a standard formula and ruined it with a bad plot and idiotic dialogue. They just put one stupid thing on top of another without thinking if it was funny or not. It started out with promise and then fizzled fast.
Not recommended even as a rental.
Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity.
