Ok I am going to stop right there and let you watch the film and all the sleeping around. When I started to watch ‘Friends Effing Friends Effing Friends’ I honestly taught okay..what is going on here, was this going to be some over the top film trying to be funny. Well rather quickly I was…OMG stuff like this happens with relationships.

Alright so let me get it right for you, the film opens with Steve(Graham Skipper) and Laura(Jillian Leigh) a couple dealing with their own issues having dinner with Steve’s best friend Jacob(Tyler Dawson). And it’s clear that this trio is close as they talk about their..(umm private parts) and how they behaved as young boys in school. It’s all fun and banter but Steve and Laura are bent on finding Jacob the right girl. Jacob seems to have trouble finding love but is not quite ready to settle down. However when he is set up with Sarah(Christina Gooding) sparks fly but trouble is in the wind when he meets Camille(Vanessa Dubasso) and has that instant sexual attraction, but let’s not forget he really likes Sarah. Okay so you see where I am headed with this..infidelity,lies and always thinking the grass is greener on the other side of the road.
