Review of Sex and Breakfast

I set out to watch this movie in a desperate attempt to find a film with Macaulay Culkin that did not involve him booby trapping a house for Joe Pescy, being Thomas J in My Girl, or him being the inheritor of the Rich fortune. I thought based on the title and synopsis that it would be a great combination (Macaulay Culkin + sex) but I was wrong. While this film had a good concept, all the actors were forgettable (disregarding Culkin), and the movie seemed to drag on depressingly until it came to an unsatisfying (both sexually and plot wise) end. The only reason anyone could possibly wish to put themselves through this boring movie about 2 couples who are essentially miserable, is in an attempt to see Macaulay do something as an adult actor. Good news is, Macaulay has not (or at least as of 2007) lost his acting skills. I think he actually does come off somewhat appealing and that it is a horrible shame that the only other film he has done as an adult was Saved. He should really start acting again for the sake of us Culkin fans, as the closest one can seem to get to Mac these days is by watching a few old Rory Culkin flicks like Lime Life (which likewise was horribly boring yet also had a good premise). This movie was a good concept that was dragged on in an uneventful and depressed manner. I strongly believe that given some better writers and having gotten rid of both Eliza's co-star, Becker, and Mac's useless girlfriend who was unbelievable and fake, this film could have been good.
