MPAA RATING: Not Rated

Starring Aaron Abrams, Carly Pope, Kristin Booth, Josh Dean, Sonja Bennett, Josh Cooke, Diora Baird, and Callum Blue

Each of five stories traces a single sexual encounter between each couple, leading from "Foreplay" through to "Afterglow." Each couple's attempt to have sex is met with an endless stream of complications. The Couple, Abby and Andrew, try to spice up their stale love life, only to discover that things are worse than they thought. Matt and Kristen are The Friends, lifelong buddies, one sick and the other sick of love. Their plan to sleep together goes off the rails when romance rears its ugly head. The Exes, Mia and Eric, hook up again for old time's sake, while trying to hide the feelings they still have for one another. In The First Date, world-class playboy Ken comes clean about his history to his naïve young date Jamie, learning some of her secrets in the process. The Roommates, Dave and Gord are normally at each other's throats, but set aside their differences for a threesome with Gord's girlfriend Inez. In each case, the couple (and trio) discovers that sex isn't always simple. (Maple Pictures)

Film Threat K.J. Doughton
While it's too smart to be shelved on the porn rack, "YPF" (a neutered acronym for Young People F**king, its original title) shoots Judd Apatow-styled raunch into previously uncharted stratospheres of frank sexual humor.

New York Post Lou Lumenick
A mildly raunchy comedy that might be more accurately titled "Love: Canadian Style."

Uneven but not unpleasant.

LA Weekly Tim Grierson
Tries a bit too hard to give off the impression of experience, and consequently, the film's explicit dialogue and pseudonaughty tone result in mostly shallow, giggly humor that rarely delves into the kinkiness and hang-ups that make sex a topic both obsessed over and rarely discussed.

Los Angeles Times Robert Abele
The cast tries but rarely achieves an authenticity of emotional intimacy.
