Dated But Hasn't Lost Its Touch

This is no reflection on the quality of the film, but Sleep With Me loses its edge after ten years. It's full of witty, 90's style banter. This was a great film when romantic comedies were in. The actors were hilarious and I enjoyed Craig Sheffer for the first time ever. I don't watch a lot of his films but this one is entertaining. I saw it in 1994 and was hooked on it then. Since then my tastes have changed and I've gotten attached to other films. This is the perfect date movie providing a realistic, comedic look at the differences between women and men and the problems that can surface within a circle of friends.

Dull, But Has A Few Genuinely Amusing Moments

I've been wanting to see this movie for years and just caught it on IFC. I don't remember any of the characters names, so forgive me in that area.
I want to start with a few things. There are four genuinely amusing moments in this movie; The first is in the opening sequence where one of the main characters Frank (Craig Sheffer) tells Eric Stoltz why his name is Frank (his mother had intercourse with Frank Sinatra), when one of the character's mother-in-law comes to visit and everyone finds her so boring they get stoned in the bathroom (not that, but the things they say to her is pretty amusing), Parker Posey's nude scene (nice!), and Quentin Tarantino's cameo as a partygoer named Sid who explains the homoerotic subtext of Top Gun. The movie's not a complete waste of time, but it's set up like this (forgive me, I don't remember two of the three main characters names). It opens in a car with Frank, Eric Stoltz, and Meg Tilly. Stoltz proposes to Tilly with a 10 cent ring, the movie flashes to the day before their wedding where Tilly shares a kiss with Frank. Frank is deeply, madly in love with Tilly who keeps insisting about how she's married. In many of the scenes, the characters are drunk or high; There are times where this movie is really boring, it's fueled completely by conversation (which isn't always a bad thing, but fails here);
Stoltz, Tilly, and Sheffer are good enough for their roles...But Tarantino steals the whole show in his scene. The thing that makes what he's saying better is that it makes perfect sense. The movie isn't a complete waste of time (Tarantino's rant is worth the $2 rental fee). But, another thing, for people looking for nudity or sex. There's only one scene of nudity (Posey) and it's nice, but brief.

GRADE: C+

SWORD FIGHT !!!

O.K., maybe I was a little hard on this film originally. I recently purchased an import copy of it on DVD and watched it again. I think in all fairness, I'd bump it up a star to 3. Now, about watching it on DVD, I can now go right to Tarantino giving his Top Gun monologue. As I've said before, it's way better then his Madonna speech. Be sure to catch this movie and give it chance when it comes out domestically on DVD (or better yet, now on VHS at this nice price). Sword fight !!!
