10 Rules for Sleeping Around: A Bumpy Ride with a Few Laughs

So, I watched “10 Rules for Sleeping Around” last night. Not exactly Ingmar Bergman, but then again, not trying to be. More like the bastard child of “American Pie” and some reality dating show. Directed by Leslie Greif, it’s a quirky rom-com with a lot of chaos mixed into its DNA.

The film stars Jesse Bradford and Tammin Sursok, playing a couple trying to spice things up by following the titular 10 rules for open relationships. Now, we’re talking about rules like “Thou shalt not hook up with thy partner’s friends.” Classic, right? But like any plan, chaos ensues, and hilarity—or some form of it—follows.

Watching this brought me back to a random summer night in Malmö, many moons ago, when I spontaneously crashed a wedding after-party. It was chaos, laughter, and a lot of tipsy people breaking unwritten social rules. The film’s wild parties felt just like that – unpredictable and slightly embarrassing, but kinda fun in their own weird way.

I’m not gonna lie, there are parts where the humor is so slapstick that it’s like watching a dog chase its tail, but Jesse Bradford somehow keeps you from turning it off completely. And let’s not forget Michael McKean—legendary Spinal Tap bassist—popping up as a cringe-inducing dating guru.

But I wonder if this film might be more relatable if you’ve tried the whole ‘open relationship’ thing, maybe. As a concept, it feels like trying to assemble IKEA furniture without instructions—possible, but exhausting.

So if you’re in the mood for something silly that won’t demand too much brainpower, give it a shot. It might just remind you of a crazy party night with far too many “brilliant” ideas.
