Plot

Jeff and Marty are two friends and businessmen facing a midlife crisis. Jeff is married to Franny and has two daughters, while Marty is married to Beth. Both men feel something is missing in their marriages. The men decide to travel to the Philippines, where they embark on a drug and alcohol-fueled bender and meet Andy, whom both men fall in love with. They have a threesome and decide to leave their families to live together. Andy introduces them to Kozen, a Zen Buddhist monk, and they decide to build a refuge on an isolated beach. After a period together, Jeff misses his family and the relationship of the group deteriorates when Andy falls in love with Jeff.

Reception

Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club called the film "Little more than The Beach for the mortgage-and-carpool crowd," and said it "starts strong only to become an escapist fantasy for overaged Maxim readers."[2] Rabin noted the threesome scene between the three leads is "an excruciating [one] that suggests a Playboy video recast with veteran character actors. The movie never really recovers, as the quest for spiritual salvation mutates into an extremely ordinary battle of the sexes."[2]
