The entire 90 minute run of this film came down to the last 30 seconds...a bored middle class housewife discovers the meaning of life...she finally gets an orgasm.
That about sizes up Afternoon Delight. This is not a comedy, but a doemstic drama. However,I take odds with some other reviews here. The acting was fine and the direction was okay. As almost always in sub par films it was the script that sucked.It's a shame the stalwart best friend Kathyrn Hahn got a starring role in this feeble attempt at serious drama.
The story is boring for two main reasons: It's been told several time before and its a repetition of the same almost real-time domestic life events for much of the film, from parties to card games and dull dialog.
The only life in the film is the card game scene and the only actor worth watching, from a male viewpoint, the the cute and lovely Juno Temple. But,even she isn't given much to work with and her story isn't developed.
The corker, is Jane Lynch as lesbian shrink who breaks down crying to her patient, Hahn, about her lover leaving her during Hahn's session time. That had to be a cinema first.
