Best part of this five-episodes movie is the opening sequence, with a bickering couple on their way to a holiday in the Maldives. She is suspicious of his activities. When they board the plane, he falls asleep, she pushes his thumb on his smartphone, forgotten of the seat and she starts screaming.
You get the idea the plot will be funny, albeit in a predictable way, but unfortunately the following episodes are a slow descent into the abysmally silly.
1) A woman tricks her husband of over ten years to confess his affair only to let him know that she also cheated. Then the two have hot sex.
2) A pathetic salesman tries desperately to "score" during a team building event with overnight stay in a hotel. Even a married 52 yo colleague rejects him.
3) The weirdest episode: sad-sack guy lies to his wife about going to watch basketball, while he actually goes to a fancy brothel. The wife discovers him, but doesn't mind.
4) A rich guy caught in a luxury hotel room with his lover convinces his gullible wife that she's delusional.
5) Three friends have dinner in a fancy restaurant. Two of them confess they would gladly have sex with 90% of the women of the world. The third points out that they are narcissists who just like themselves. Camera pans to a couple of "women" the guys said they fancied, only to reveal it's them in drags.
On a side note, Scamarcio who used to be the sexy boy of Italian cinema turned into an unremarkable middle-aged guy with a nasty streak.
All the interior scenes take place in fancy, luxury surroundings and I was often distracted by the quality of the furniture and the design, which is a clear sign of how bad the script and the execution was. Still, the interior design deserves the extra point.
