Sex After Kids – 6.5

The movie’s title and opening suggest a one-joke plot, but it turns out that the film is not really about sex, or kids, but about intimate relationships and the difficulty thereof. Conspicuously covering the waterfront, we are given a straight couple, a gay couple, an interracial couple, an older couple, a single mom, a single dad, a hooker-mom and siblings. The sex is largely played for cheap laughs and there is nothing profound, but writer-director Jeremy LaLonde does a nice, low-budget job of tying the stories together and wrapping things up in a satisfying way that lets you leave the theater in a cheerful mood, if none the wiser.
