Enjoyed it, but...


...there's an overall fault in the storytelling as it relates to the characters being interviewed, being coy, wishing to remain secretive and then having the camera follow them around with complete freedom.

One example is when Griffin explains his whole cheating mentality but maintains he can't tell his wife and go through another divorce. Also tells his dental practice partner the same thing. Yet he's perfectly willing to tell a documentary maker as well as having the whole affair filmed.

In all scenes the documentary crew is treated as if they aren't there. There's not even a furtive look to see if they are alone during delicate moments.

Actually, the movie is attempting to marry two contradictory styles: fly-on-the-wall and documentary. It's a solid little film and the documentary aspect is just annoying and contradictory.
