Two middle-aged Czech couples (husbands Jiří Langmajer and Hynek Čermák, and wives Marika Procházková and Viktorie Čermáková), who are also longtime friends and neighbors, switch partners during a combination business trip/vacation to the Caribbean and then try to continue the sexual experimentation after returning home. But their adolescent children—two boys in one family and two girls in the other—are interested in one another too, which puts a crimp on the adults' style. That's the premise of Jan Hrebejk's slight but genial comedy, which spends a good deal of time on montages showing the four parents frolicking together clothed on the sunny Caribbean beaches or undressed in bed while engaged in wife-swapping. Unfortunately, when the couples return home, the obligatory slapstick of their awkward attempts to keep the excitement going never moves much beyond mild embarrassment, while the subplot about the children feeling the first pangs of lust doesn't have much of a payoff, resulting in a film that is amiable enough, but also curiously bland (given the subject). Optional. (F. Swietek)
