Afternoon Delight

Jill Soloway's Afternoon Delight (US, 2013) - In "Afternoon Delight," the feature bow of smallscreen scribe-producer Jill Soloway ("United States of Tara"), a familiar sitcom premise -- a marriage that has lost its zing -- literally gets tarted up when the wife takes a shine to a young sex worker and moves her into the family home. Although there are moments when it feels the plot might move in unexpected directions, in the end, the expected cliches reign. Visually undistinguished, with some good lines but broad performances, the pic is most likely to reach an audience beyond smug marrieds and urban hipsters in home formats. 2013SUN. RATING: 5.
