This was the first of the videos that started a trend of sex education videos in the early 1990s . I guess the idea behind it was for liberated women to go into a high street store and buy it without any type of guilt or inhibition , but no doubt the main buyer market was teenage boys and dirty old men
THE LOVERS GUIDE is groundbreaking in the fact that it publicised that the couples involved were real life partners but this is slightly dishonest , yes the main couple featured Wendy and her husband were indeed a real life couple who'd been married several years but there was some public controversy that at least one of the couples Kathryn ( The gorgeous brunette ) and Marino ( The well buffed geezer with a ponytail ) had never met one another until they appeared on set where they had unprotected sex for the camera . For a video that self righteously dedicates segments to safe sex it is rather hypocritical
Seeing as it's for education purposes and not pornography as such there's limits as to what can be shown but as a sex education video it's not uninformative though I doubt if you'll be gasping " I never knew that "
As a footnote the main couple featured became something of sexual problem agony aunts in the British press - Until it was revealed that Wendy's husband had a serious heart condition which put a stop to sex . I almost felt sorry for this couple who confessed that they used to make love as often as ten times a day but now couldn't make love once a day because it was too dangerous . My small amount of sympathy soon vanished when shortly afterwards the couple split up and raced off to the gutter press in order to dish the dirt on one another to the highest bidder .
喜欢。没想到这么好笑。欧洲电影的感觉。好像也只有上海，讲这样的故事还算搭调。除了一地鸡毛，沉痛悲情，还是可以有轻盈的中年嘛。
《北京遇上西雅图》系列3《上海遇上罗马城》
可爱，有爱的电影，特别适合我这种跟片子几个主角一样，大龄、离异且正在努力恋爱、偶尔帮着别人看孩子的中年观众[捂脸][捂脸][捂脸]
两个男人赌气的蒙太奇见过吗？哈哈哈，吴越的渣女言论牛🐮
从爱情片来看，有天真，有成熟。成年人可能不那么相信现实里有爱情神话，但碰到爱情的坑，躲也躲不过，断舍离不管用的。成熟带来包容，包容带来多元，多元爱情观的碰撞挺有意思。身为地域电影，上海故事，上海演员，上海风情。就像是爱情片但不限于爱情，这片地域色彩浓烈但风味也不局限于上海。
3.5。节奏和爱情小品的感觉很难得，只是不太喜欢背后的这份略带精致的小资底色。说是日常，烟火气却不太浓，可能因为这还不是我的圈子。
很温暖的电影！不建议二十多岁的单身狗看，因为阅历少可能不会太懂。
春天去yeast喝咖啡，发现隔壁杂货店在换红色店招，说是徐峥要来拍电影。才发现原来就是爱情神话。虽然电影里这个上海人圈子离我很遥远，但终于也有人来拍拍给中年人的爱情生活了（跟倒数第二次恋爱还是有差距的哈哈
形式的花永远掩盖不了内容的硬，这就是我对这类作品的评价～
说句实在话，像电影这样的文本容量，更适合去讲一个精彩的故事，而对于人物角色的塑造则不是那么紧要。然而这部电影反其道而行之，花了很多笔墨在每个人物身上，大家一直在唠唠唠，通过对话和行为把每个人物雕刻得异常饱满，很像平时生活中朋友该有的样子。
和索菲亚罗兰一夜情的老乌有可能是真的，但在上海不收亚历山大房租的房东老白，是绝对只活在电影里。
怎么说，对非上海的朋友不一定友好，里面有不少梗可能都很难理解。但我还是看出了亲切感，毕竟魔都就是这样一个充满了魔幻现实主义的地方。而且我觉得这其实是一部上海人自我嘲讽的电影，好多点都踩得恰到好处……好吧，编导不是上海人，我知道了……
令人惊异的“金句”频出，听懂就能拍案叫绝的程度。坐在商业影院里但恍惚像是坐在资料馆看了一部是枝裕和、侯麦、伍迪艾伦…但又都不是，是内地语境里独特而稀缺的城市电影、成熟探讨两性关系的爱情小品。
刚好是在上海的平安夜，看完只想说：太灵了！有点Woody Allen的感觉～
不虐心，不狗血，不作不装，平淡得似乎什么都没发生，却时刻感受到风平浪静下的暗流涌动，很高级。喜欢这种上海独有的弥漫着咖啡味儿的烟火气，喜欢这里每一个孤独而有趣的灵魂，审慎，睿智，豁达，欲言又止，这才是给成年人看的爱情电影。
摘自长评： “本片的宣传点之一是女性主义，但如果把这看成一个女权故事，那倪虹洁应该睡黄明昊啊，真的会有人在女权故事里想睡徐峥黄磊吗” 哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
但都没有关系，作为一部中产爱情小品堪称完美。况且人物够鲜活，意义和感受就自然产生了。
86/100
这电影真的不是拍给我的吗？
徐峥和马伊琍的中年艰难爱情，看之前嫌弃，看之后有点惊艳，都市和市井相融的方言电影太少了，老乌的爱情神话刻骨铭心似假还真，实属点睛之笔
