I strongly advise you to avoid this film like a Scientology recruiter. I can't remember the last time I resented wasting 90 minutes of my life on such a poorly-scripted, appallingly shot, inestimably boring, cliché-ridden, pointless film as this. I was amazed by its ability to force good actors to deliver stilted, wooden performances with its sheer awfulness.
The bit I enjoyed most was the unintentionally hilarious bit with Catherine Tate and Adrian Lester, where their seven-year-old daughter is meant to be spouting out some ridiculous "out of the mouths of babes" profundity about the state of their relationship, which is amusing because (a) the girl is possibly the worst actress in the history of forever, and (b) she's 31 if she's a day. Seven years old my arse.
Also, if you make a movie called Scenes of a Sexual Nature with Ewan McGregor in it and he doesn't get his cock out at any point, you have completely misread your market.

Oh no.
I did want to see this. The premise attracted me. And their "grass-roots" approach to marketing (ie. using myspace).
Sad.

Ohh, what a shame, I've been looking forward to this too. (b) she's 31 if she's a day. Seven years old my arse. perhaps she's related to that middle aged looking kid in Goldplated.

The premise is quite a nice idea, but the way it's handled is dreadful: it comes across like a really bad school play written by a bunch of sixteen-year-olds.
Example of the quality of the script: there's a running gag where Adrian Lester needs a piss, but every time he goes into the bushes, a gay tries to suck his cock. Hilarious!

I wonder if it started off as a play, as it did seem overly theatrical. With the elderly couple especially I could see them sat on the bench on the stage, with long pauses.
Holly Aird has put on a lot of weight since her glory days (whatever they were). Hardly surprising James Purejoy isn't married to her anymore and Andrew Lincoln is looking elsewhere (I was expecting him to try and hide his erection as he was being taunted by the French girl). Although with Holly and Polly Walker it was nice to see less slim older women on the screen.
Tom Hardy was horny, what a lovely smooth grabbable arse, although were those his real teeth?
But the main problem I had with it was that it just wasn't very sunny. People were lying around on their towels without as much as a shadow in sight.

Tom Hardy was horny, what a lovely smooth grabbable arse, Is the film worth watching for that alone? What were his teeth like?

Is the film worth watching for that alone? What were his teeth like? Depends on how able you are to focus on it, I think. I didn't even notice his arse because every time he was on screen I was thinking "what kind of accent is that meant to be?"

I strongly advise you to avoid this film like a Scientology recruiter. I strongly advise everyone to take Steven's advice about avoiding shite films. I didn't even notice his arse because every time he was on screen I was thinking "what kind of accent is that meant to be?" What the hell was that accent? Does anyone actually talk like that? I think it was kind of like on Catherine Tate with Lauren and her friends. Was it some kind of Ali G thing, white boys trying to talk like black boys? Unfortunately, they are his real teeth. Still, nice arse.
