The Freebie Trailer And Poster

If you're familiar with my tastes at all, you probably know that a quirky number like The Freebie is right up my alley. At least, theoretically.
Whether it all comes together is another thing entirely, but just from the description, trailer, and some of the background info (like the involvement of Mark Duplass), I'm on board.

The subject might cause some to roll their eyes, but it's an interesting entry into some real questions, and it looks like a lot of fun. Check out the trailer, and visit the films website - http://www.untie-theknot.com/

I have a good feeling about this one.

Darren (Dax Shepard) and Annie (Katie Aselton) have an enviable relationship built on love, trust and communication-they still enjoy each other's company and laugh at each other's jokes. Unfortunately, they can't remember the last time they had sex.

When a dinner party conversation leads to an honest discussion about the state of their love life, and when a sexy bikini photo shoot leads to crossword puzzles instead of sex, they begin to flirt with an idea for a way to spice things up. The deal: one night of freedom, no strings attached, no questions asked. Could a "freebie" be the cure for their ailing sex life?

And will they go through with it? THE FREEBIE is an insightful and humorous look at love, sustaining relationships, and the awkwardness of monogamy when the haze of lust has faded. The film was produced by Adele Romanski and executive produced by Aselton and CYRUS director Mark Duplass.
