Plot

Emma is a busy doctor who sets up a seemingly perfect arrangement when she offers her best friend Adam a relationship with one rule: No strings attached. But when a fling becomes a thing, can sex friends stay best friends?

Sinekatalog’s take

A glossy, predictable romcom about two friends who think they can keep feelings out of a physical arrangement. The leads are appealing and a few scenes are genuinely funny, though the formula is wearing thin. Light, undemanding fun for a casual evening.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
