The West Wittering Affair: “Friends” this is not. A romantic comedy it is not. But it is a story of friends and relationships that go to the ‘next’ level. Jamie, a loser with the ladies, is invited to a weekend in the English countryside with two women. As the evening strolls by, both women find him attractive. And he gives in to temptation. The confusion comes about when the women argue over Jamie; when Jamie visits a counselor to talk through the confusion, but who is a friend with one of the gals; and when a baby is the result of a one-night stand. Misunderstandings bring about ill-advised actions. The filming was solid, each scene steps through the lives of each couple with a pleasant enough touch, and the actors are quite agreeable. The story flow is easy to follow and the outcome of the conflicts satisfying. Just don’t expect a laugh track.
