Cinephile No. 524 “Sleeping with Other People”

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

In "Sleeping with Other People," Jason Sudeikis proves he is ready to be a comedic leading man. For those of us who count ourselves as long-time fans of “Saturday Night Live,” this is not a surprise. Early into his first season, it was easy to tell he was a rare comedic talent. In this film, the full range of his acting talents is on display. Playing a character who possesses an inability to commit, he strikes up a “friends with benefits” relationship with a female counterpart. He is witty, charming and intellectual; all the things needed to succeed in a lead role. While the movie is filled with romantic comedy clichés and we get the ending we knew was coming all along, we were treated to a breakout performance. I, for one, can’t wait to see where he takes us next.


Thanks for entering my world,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
