The Freebie (2010)
3/10
entertaining enough ...

... to sit through until the end. but if you are looking for substance other than the obvious, this sketch is not for you.

admittedly, the acting is quite good and the fact that it was largely improvised is quite impressive. the characters are sympathetic enough to feel sorry for. but I am seriously in doubt that the movie adds something meaningful to any human being capable of the following thoughts:

the sex life in a long lasting relationship can suffer over time - openly talking about it does not necessary improve the situation - unanimously approved "cheating" on each other is not really a way out - don"t do it.

good thing it's low budget, but I'm sorry to say: writer, director and star Katie Aselton took on two jobs too many. she is a great actress. stick to what you do best.
