4.0 out of 5 stars
Seeing Me, January 18, 2007
Ok, first off I have seen the movie on tv, and do not have the dvd yet. But I still feel obligated to comment. I love Joy Mohr, Lauren Graham, and Jonathan Davis. I admit J.D. has a very short part, but nonetheless, it was nice to see him in an actual movie.
I admit there is nudity, language, drugs, sex, and cheating. But you have to remember that this is only a film. No one in the movie is telling you to emulate what the actor's are doing. If you like any of the three actor's I mentioned, you'll probably like this. If you like humor, sarcasm, and bad predicaments that you would never want to be in, but find funny when they happen to others, you will love this movie. I agree that this is not a romantic comedy. But it is d*mn funny.

A+ Movie!, December 15, 2008
I couldnt help but laugh the whole way through this movie. Jay Mohr, has always, been one of my favorite actors. He makes the movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars
It's a good movie, but I didn't like it, August 3, 2005
I have to give Seeing Other People four stars because it's a witty, well-made movie - but that doesn't mean I enjoyed it. I was, in fact, rather repulsed by the whole thing. I don't know why I watch movies like this. Seeing Other People leaves me wondering if there's a single sweet and innocent girl over the age of 12 left in this world. Are some people actually like the people in this movie? It's a depressing proposition, to say the least. Some people just don't deserve to be happy - exhibit A is almost the entire cast of this film. I didn't even like Jay Mohr to begin with; if they ever remake Three's Company (and, seeing what's going on in Hollywood these days, it's inevitable that they will), Jay Mohr is Larry - it's as simple as that.
I don't know much about women, but I do know that no woman in her right mind is going to insist that she and her fiancé see other people before the wedding. Alice (Julianne Nicholson) thinks she needs more experience before getting married; determined to make a total slut out of what has supposedly been a good girl, she badgers her live-in fiancé Ed (Jay Mohr) into agreeing that they both start sleeping around. Since they won't be lying about it, their relationship will only get stronger, she says. Uh, no. Not gonna happen. From this early point, the movie descends into a really bad episode of Melrose Place. Alice falls into a relationship with the world's neediest contractor, while Ed eventually starts lapping the field with an assortment of young women. Then Alice's cold and intimidating sister Claire (Lauren Graham) starts cheating on her annoying English husband, he makes a pretty disgusting move elsewhere, etc. The whole thing blows up in everyone's face - except for Ed's friend Carl (Andy Richter), who finds love (with a crazy woman) in a subplot that has little to do with the rest of the film.
There's nudity, although less than you might expect (I can only pray that I never have to see Jay Mohr's backside again), there's plenty of foul language, and the whole thing is basically a disgusting display of perversion gone unchecked. But, taken for what it is, the movie is quite successful - it's certainly much more intelligent than it could have been, the cast members perform their roles quite well, and there seems to be a point behind it all. This is a sex comedy, though, not a romantic comedy - I for one certainly didn't see anything romantic in it at all.
