Sleeping With Other People

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Sleeping with Other People has likable leads and flashes of inspiration, but seems unwilling or unable to surround them with the truly subversive rom-com they deserve.

Somewhere along the line, somebody sanded down Headland's rough edges. Go to Full Review
Kat Poole Empire Magazine 01/07/2016
3/5
Director Leslye Headland's follow-up to Bachelorette addresses big issues like the role of sex in relationships while delivering refreshing laughs thanks to a supporting cast who make their value known; Adam Brody's cameo is a revelation. Go to Full Review

3/5
Perhaps Headland is afraid of her films being too unlikable for audiences, or this an attempt to legitimise herself within the mainstream. Because, ultimately, why sacrifice all this smart, perceptive modernity for a finale hewn of Hollywood cliché? Go to Full Review
Josh Slater-Williams Vague Visages 11/15/2023
When Sleeping with Other People does hit — which is a lot of the time — it’s an invigorating spicing up of formula; a winning balance of hedonism and heart that’s unapologetic about either quality Go to Full Review
Elissa Suh Moviepudding (Substack) 05/25/2023
Essentially a Meg Ryan picture with quippier dialogue, Sleeping with Other People turns into “sleeping with one person for the rest of your life,” adhering to the usual stakes and upholding the status quo. Go to Full Review

Might have been more effective if it didn't adhere so strictly to the old possum that men and women can't be friends. Go to Full Review

Susan J Aug 7 Well written and extremely likable movie. Much better than expected given the genre, excellent cast and interesting subplots that perhaps wraps up too quickly at the end but with a lot of heart and fun. Genuinely witty, smart dialog that doesn’t pander. Sudeikis has enough charm to fill any of the seven seas. See more Courtney S. @GetOverIt23 Aug 3 Funny, raunchy and what it’s like to fall in love with a best friend. Good movie See more Aaron E Jan 8 Quite possibly my new favorite movie. Refreshingly straight forward. The twist and turns in this film make it compelling, relatable and sincere. While keeping it fresh and honest. Lays into the idea of building love through understanding. See more Giuseppe N 11/13/2024 Sudeikis and Brie are terrific, the story is quite conventional but with some good twists. Very sweet movie overral, and great soundtrack See more James E 09/08/2024 A cute and raunchy premise with some fun ideas. It’s a fairly basic plot, but it’s executed in a fairly original manner that keeps it interesting See more hazel m 08/30/2024 This has become one of my favorite rom-coms! Highly underrated.
