Not that many people do wife-swapping anymore (it’s certainly not like the days of The Ice Storm), but it may be the only thing that can save Martin Freeman and Mandy Moore’s relationship in Swinging With The Finkels.
Here’s the official synopsis: Swinging with the Finkels tells the story of Alvin and Ellie Finkel played by British comedy favourite Martin Freeman (The Office, soon to be seen in the title role as The Hobbit) and US film, music and TV star Mandy Moore (License to Wed, Tangled), a couple living in London at breaking point in their relationship. As two young students, Alvin and Ellie met at university and fell in love. Ten years later they are now married with successful careers and very little time for eachother. They are getting dangerously close to falling out of love
As the marriage of their closest friends Peter and Janet, played by US comedy star Jonathan Silverman (Weekend at Bernies) and Australian actress Melissa George (30 Days of Night), hits the rocks after Peter embarks on a steamy affair, the Finkels are encouraged to analyse their relationship and decide whether they have a marriage worth saving. Do they stay together and continue with their increasingly stale relationship, or should they attempt to relight the flame that they are both missing? Would sex toys be the answer? Will dressing up and role play help spice things up? Or should they indulge in the ultimate marriage scruple of wife swapping? Alvin and Ellie are about to discover whether swinging is the answer to their marital problems
The film hits cinemas June 17th. Click below for the slightly rude trailer. Oh, and I apologise in advance for the brief shot of Louis Spence, who I can only pray will be cut out of the final film.
