2.0

A long hot summer of suburban sex, simmering regret & yearnings for youth. That can be fun—if you’re Tennessee Williams. But here we’re in 30-something, frustrated intellectuals, teetering marriage territory. Dad is a stunted real estate agent tempted by a doomed young beauty. Mom is a blocked writer who picks up a freewheeling boy toy. Their bed-hopping leads to some amusing adults-gone-wild, summer flings. But gets silly when it tries to swim in the deep end. The Stones said it best: What a drag it is getting old.
