...doubt he gets off on control; there might have been an interesting movie in that. But this ga-ga film goes for the moral dilemma. Diana and her husband (Woody Harrelson) debate the offer forever before she accepts. They quarrel while Diana and her one-night stand get lovey-dovey, but then things turn out fine.

Not surprisingly, she turns out to be a moralist. Pornography shocks her. So does wife swapping. Homosexuals are "lovey-dovey gay boys" and feminists are YLib loonies."
